A valuable resource for Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres customers
Our team constantly updates and extends the Quick Start Guide section of our Knowledge Portal to provide our customers with up-to-date instructions on how to deploy and configure Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres. This is a great resource that provides step-by-step procedures, with each topic covering various versions and platforms.
To further improve our customer experience, I am pleased to announce that we have added a new article to the guide - How to configure Dedicated Audt Log.
What is Dedicated Audit Log?
The Dedicated Audit Log is one of the key unique security features provided in Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres. It extends PostgreSQL's audit capability by allowing the system to output audit logs to a separate file.
Dedicated worker processes introduced in Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres write audit records, which minimizes the burden of log operations on the default logging operation and offers a straightforward and effective method for auditors and data security experts to gather data directly from the dedicated logs and examine database activity information.
There are two types of audit logging capability provided in Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres:
- Session audit logging
Enables all the activity of a database user to be captured in a dedicated log file starting from the time the user gets connected for a session to the database
- Object audit logging
Enables all the activity performed on a selected database object such as table or column, to be captured in a dedicated log file.
These log files can be used for compliance requirements or for analyzing database activities and tracing security issues.
