Change Auditor for VMWare 7.1.1 - Event Reference Guide

Introduction

Proper auditing and log management for your VMware vCenter Server infrastructure components are critical for security and compliance, but they can prove difficult in practice using system provided auditing tools. To facilitate the management of this, Change Auditor automatically monitors vital changes to VMware’s infrastructure, including datacenters, hosts, virtual machines and other resources associated with vCenter or ESX hosts.

Alerts will be raised to show the pertinent (who, where, what, and when) information and reports will be available to provide associated information.

* 
NOTE: An agent is required for the auditing of these events. Therefore activity done through cellular, mobile, or browser will not be captured as part of the auditing process.

This guide lists the events that can be captured by Change Auditor for VMware. Separate event reference guides are provided that list the core Change Auditor events (Change Auditor internal events, Custom Registry Monitoring, Fault Tolerance, Local Group Monitoring, Local User Monitoring, Service Monitoring, and System Events) and the events captured when the different auditing modules are licensed.

 

Change Auditor for VMware Events

This section lists the audited events captured by Change Auditor for VMware.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: When expecting large numbers of events, it may be necessary to increase the Max Events per Connection setting in the client (Agent Configuration on the Administration Tasks tab) to avoid an ever-increasing backlog of events waiting to be sent from the agent to the coordinator database.
* 
NOTE: To view a complete list of all the events, open the Audit Events page on the Administration Tasks tab in the Change Auditor for VMware client. This page displays the facility to which the event belongs, the severity assigned to each event, and if the event is enabled or disabled.
