Audit Trail Version 8 Version 9 Administration

asked on November 19, 2013

From a reseller:

Customer is running 8.3.2.736 we are going to upgrade to 9.

The IT administrator has noticed some memory spiking occurring with Audit Trail.

I know from the Advance VAR training some of the Audit Events can be BUSY but I do not remember specifically which ones.

You can usually disable "Entry Listing" to speed up performance without having to worry about missing valuable audit data. This event keeps track of every column that could be displayed for every folder that users open. That's a lot of data to be logging, and it's seldom very useful.

is this a universal setting or a per saved report setting? Can this be defaulted?

It's on the auditing (LFS) side, not on the reporting side. Once the data is recorded in the audit log, it's not possible to filter on a per-event basis what gets loaded into the reporting database. You can choose not to include them in any given report, but even so you're incurring performance and resource overhead for having them in the database.

To add to what Brian said, you can find information on turning specific auditing events on or off for the Laserfiche Server through the Admin Console. See the audit trail help files for more information.
