Creating an On Demand Audit configuration

Creating an On Demand Audit configuration

An On Demand Audit subscription is required before you can configure the connection to Change Auditor.

* 
NOTE: If you do not currently have a subscription, you can select to register for a free 30 day trial. Once you have registered, you can sign in and configure the connection between Change Auditor and On Demand Audit.
* 
NOTE: To create the configuration, you must use the email from the account that created the On Demand subscription or have been delegated the appropriate permissions from your On Demand administrator.

To delegate the required permissions, the On Demand Audit administrator must add the required accounts to the Auditing Administrator role through the On Demand Access page.
* 
NOTE: Once a configuration is in place, all coordinators which belong to the Change Auditor Installation will be registered with On Demand Audit.

To create a configuration with On Demand Audit, Change Auditor clients and coordinators must be able to access specific URLs. See the Quest On Demand Audit User Guide for details.

To send events to On Demand Audit, Change Auditor coordinators must be able to access specific URLs. See the Quest On Demand Audit User Guide for details.

 

* 
IMPORTANT: If the only coordinator in the Installation is removed for any reason the On Demand Audit subscription will become unavailable. Once a new coordinator is deployed, set all deprecated coordinators to "Uninstalled" status in the Change Auditor client under View | Statistics | Coordinator. Once complete, recreate the On Demand Audit subscription under View | Administration | Configuration | On Demand Audit. Event forwarding will continue from the last forwarded event.
To create a configuration
1
From the Administration Tasks, select Configuration | On Demand Audit.
2
Select Sign in and Configure to create the connection.
3
Enter your Quest account credentials to sign in to On Demand Audit.
4
Choose the required organization if prompted and click Select Organization.

By default, the current installation is used for the configuration name. If required, you can enter a different name for the configuration. This is the configuration name used in On Demand Audit; it does not change the Change Auditor installation name.

5
Click Finish.

On Demand Audit will now create the subscription and Change Auditor will begin to send events.

Introduction

You can enable/disable the auditing of individual events so that Change Auditor is auditing only those events that are vital to your organization’s operation. In addition, you can modify the severity level (high, medium, or low) and description assigned to each event. The severity level is used when processing events and to help you in determining the potential level of risk associated with each configuration change event.
