Abstract
System performance may be optimized, and extraneous audit noise reduced, by providing the capability of exercising a fine degree of control over individual audit events. A user such as an auditor interested in an individual audit event can obtain desired results without also obtaining results of all other individual audit events in the category containing the individual audit event. Additionally, audits may be obtained on either a per-user basis or on a system-wide basis. In this way, the auditor may tailor auditing events without regard to the auditing events established for other users of the system. Thus, there is a capability of establishing auditing policies for the entire system, in which case all users of the system may obtain results of the system-wide auditing.
