Novell Audit provides two tools to query events and generate reports: the Novell Audit iManager plug-in and Novell Audit Report (LReport).
The following sections provide more information on these tools:
The Novell Audit iManager plug-in is a Web-based JDBC* application that enables you to query MySQL* and Oracle* databases. All queries are defined in SQL.
iManager includes several predefined queries and it includes a Query Builder to help you define basic query statements. Of course, you can also build your own SQL query statements.
For basic steps in configuring the Auditing and Logging plug-in on the Administration Console, see Creating Novell Audit Queries
in the Novell Access Manager 3.0 SP4 Setup Guide.
For complete information on defining and running queries in iManager, see the following sections in the Novell Audit 2.0 Administration Guide.
Novell Audit Report is a Windows-based, ODBC-compliant application that can use SQL query statements or Crystal Decisions* Reports to query Oracle and MySQL data stores (or any other database that has ODBC driver support). You can define your own SQL query statements or import existing query statements and reports. Query results are returned in simple data tables; rows represent individual records and columns represent fields within those records.
For complete information on defining and running queries in Novell Audit Report, see the following sections in the Novell Audit 2.0 Administration Guide.
