Change Auditor for SQL Server 7.1.1 - User Guide

Introduction

You can search, report and alert on changes to all SQL instances being audited or changes made to a specific SQL instance, SQL database, or SQL Server object.

 

* 
NOTE: As a best practice, you should not have both SQL and SQL Data Level subsystems defined in a single search. When the SQL subsystem is included without filters, all SQL Data Level events will be included.

Create custom SQL searches

The following scenarios explain how to use the What tab to create custom SQL searches.

To search all SQL instances:
* 
NOTE: If you wanted to, you can use the other search properties tabs to define additional criteria:
•
Who - allows you to search for events generated by a specific user, computer or group
•
Where - allows you to search for events captured by a specific agent or within a specific domain or site
•
When - allows you to search for events that occurred within a specific date/time range
•
Origin - allows you to search for events that originated from a specific workstation or server
* 
NOTE: Selecting the Private folder will create a search that only you can run and view, whereas selecting the Shared folder will create a search which can be run and viewed by all Change Auditor users.
1
Open the Searches page.
2
In the explorer view (left pane), expand and select the folder where you want to save your search.
3
Click New to enable the Search Properties tabs across the bottom of the Searches page.
4
On the Info tab, enter a name and description for the search.
5
Open the What tab, expand Add and select Subsystem | SQL.
6
On the Add SQL Instance dialog, select All SQL Instances.
7
Click OK to save your selection and close the dialog.
8
Once you have defined the search criteria, you can either save the search definition or run the search.
•
To save the search definition without running it, click Save.
•
To save and run the search, click Run.
9
When this search is run, Change Auditor will search for the SQL events based on the search criteria specified on the What tab and display the results in a new search results page.
To search a specific SQL instance, database or object:
1
Open the Searches page.
2
In the explorer view (left pane), expand and select the folder where you want to save your search.
3
Click New to enable the Search Properties tabs across the bottom of the Searches page.
4
On the Info tab, enter a name and description for the search.
5
Open the What tab, expand Add and select Subsystem | SQL.
6
On the Add SQL Instance dialog, select This Object.
7
When the This Object option is selected, you must fill in at least one of the following fields to define the SQL objects to include in the search:
•
Instance - Enter the name of the SQL instance or click the browse button to the far right to select from a list. Selecting the browse button will display the Select a SQL Instance and Database dialog which provides a list of SQL instances and associated databases from which you can select the instance and database to be used. If you leave this field blank, Change Auditor will search for SQL events based on the entries made in the DB and/or Object fields for all audited SQL instances.
•
DB - Enter the name of the SQL database to be used or use the browse button to the far right to select from a list. Selecting the browse button will display the Select a SQL Instance and Database dialog which provides a list of SQL instances and associated databases from which you can select the instance and database to be used. If you leave this field blank, Change Auditor will search for SQL events based on the entries made in the Instance and/or Object fields for all audited SQL databases.
•
Object - Enter a SQL Server object to be included in the search definition. If you leave this field blank, Change Auditor will search for SQL events based on the entries made in the Instance and/or DB fields for all audited SQL Server objects.
Once you have specified the SQL instance, database and/or object to be included in the search definition, click Add to add it to the Selection list at the bottom of the dialog.
* 
NOTE: Select the Exclude the Above Selection(s) check box if you want to search for changes to all SQL instances EXCEPT those listed in the ‘what’ list.
* 
NOTE: Select the Runtime Prompt check box on this dialog to prompt for a SQL instance every time the search is run.
8
Once you have selected the SQL instance, database and/or object to be included in the search, click OK to save your selection and close the dialog.
9
Once you have defined the search criteria, you can either save the search definition or run the search.
•
To save the search definition without running it, click Save.
•
To save and run the search, click Run.
10
When this search is run, Change Auditor will search for the SQL events based on the search criteria specified on the What tab and display the results in a new search results page.

Create custom SQL Data Level searches

The following scenarios explain how to use the What tab to create custom SQL Data Level searches.

 
* 
NOTE: If you wanted to, you can use the other search properties tabs to define additional criteria:
•
Who - allows you to search for events generated by a specific user, computer or group
•
Where - allows you to search for events captured by a specific agent or within a specific domain or site
•
When - allows you to search for events that occurred within a specific date/time range
•
Origin - allows you to search for events that originated from a specific workstation or server
To search a specific SQL Data Level object:
1
Open the Searches page.
2
In the explorer view (left pane), expand and select the folder where you want to save your search.
3
Click New to activate the Search Properties tabs across the bottom of the Searches page.
4
On the Info tab, enter a name and description for the search.
5
Open the What tab, expand Add and select Subsystem | SQL Data Level.
6
On the Add SQL Data Level Object, select one of the following and enter the search term:
•
Application Name
•
Database Name
•
Table Name
•
Transaction ID
Once you have specified the search term, click Add to add it to the Selection list at the bottom of the dialog.
* 
NOTE: Select the Exclude the Above Selection(s) check box if you want to search for changes to all SQL Data Level events EXCEPT those that match the specified criteria.
7
Click OK to save your selection and close the dialog.
8
Once you have defined the search criteria, you can either save the search definition or run the search.
•
To save the search definition without running it, click Save.
•
To save and run the search, click Run.
9
When this search is run, Change Auditor will search for the SQL Data Level events based on the search criteria specified on the What tab and display the results in a new search results page.
