IBM i Auditing Planning

When planning on what to audit on your IBM i, you can use two different areas:

• Action auditing.
• Object auditing.

Action Auditing

Action auditing is the action to log system-wide, security-relevant events. Action auditing is available at system-level and/or user-level. Examples include:

• User profile changed.
• User profile created.
• Object restore.
• Actions to spooled files.

Object Auditing

Object auditing is the action to log specific object-related, security-relevant events. Object auditing is also available at system level and/or user-level. Examples include:

• Only for Object Changes.
• All Accesses to Object.
