Creating the auditing database

This section describes how to use the Administration Console to create the auditing database. If, having created the database, you ever want to roll over to a new database, you cannot use the Administration Console to do so; see the support article How to rollover an auditing database for instructions.

To create the auditing database

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, right-click the Enterprise Vault Directory and then, on the context menu, click Enable Auditing.

  2. Under Audit Database location, click Browse to display the available locations for the auditing database.

  3. If you want to create a new folder for the auditing database, click New Folder.

  4. Click the location to use for the auditing database, and then click OK.

  5. Under Transaction log location, click Browse to display the available locations for the auditing database transaction log.

  6. If you want to create a new folder for the transaction log, click New Folder.

  7. Click the location to use for the log, and then click OK.

  8. Click OK to close the Configure Auditing dialog box.

  9. Wait a few moments for Enterprise Vault to create the database.

  10. When Enterprise Vault displays a message confirming that it has created the auditing database, click OK to dismiss the message.
