Accountability

Oracle GoldenGate includes functional security aspects such as REST API call logging and system logging.

Auditing

In Oracle GoldenGate, auditing is enabled by default. The following auditing features are available with Oracle GoldenGate:

  • You have the $OGG_HOME/lib/utl/logging/ogg-audit.xml file that defines the audit conditions.

  • By default, the syslog appender is used, which writes the audit into system security log.

  • The auditing functionality has been enhanced for Oracle GoldenGate 23ai and higher releases. There are additional appenders, that allow you to change the default location ($OGG_VAR_HOME/log) of the audit file.

  • As the ogg-audit.xml file is in the software directory, it manages all deployments for this software.

    You can copy this file into $OGG_ETC_HOME/config/logging and modify the file. It is only specific to the Oracle GoldenGate deployment.
