Welcome to DSAuditor
DSAuditor helps to secure critical data, ensure data privacy, and enable regulatory compliance by monitoring
database access and activity. DSAuditor's ability to detect suspicious behavior in real time minimizes the threat of data
theft and tampering. Historical data auditing capabilities deliver detailed reports to comply with stringent internal
policies and external regulatory requirements. And, DSAuditor's network-based approach enables reporting on
sensitive events such as database, schema, and permissions updates, without impacting performance.
DSAuditor tracks:
• Which tables and columns are being used (and, conversely, which are not)
• Who is accessing the data
• When they are accessing it
• What kinds of activities are occurring
DSAuditor works by “listening” to every SQL query or database request submitted by end user and applications,
excluding any that you are not interested in tracking. The queries are then parsed and detailed information written to a
repository. A nightly summarization process on the repository consolidate this data into pre-joined, denormalized
summary tables.
A browser-based client provides a graphical front-end to both the detail and summary tables to generate customized
reports, which can display activity down to the table, column, or individual query level, providing both response time
and the number of rows and bytes returned per query.
This document covers only the browser-based client. Information on the installation and operation of the server,
data-acquisition, and administrative components of DSAuditor may be found in the DSAuditor Installation Guide and
Technical Reference. Details of the repository schema can also be found in that document.
