Audit Journal Manager
IBM i Monitoring, alerting and reporting software
Audit Journal Manager is a specialist utility for the real-time, monitoring, alerting and reporting of the IBM i system audit journal, QAUDJRN; the key place for logging security related events.
Systems administrators can define the type of events they want to monitor and the Halcyon Audit Journal Monitor will pro-actively monitor the journal for these events and automatically perform pre-defined actions.
Run customized reports based upon specific audit criteria or use any of the 34-pre-supplied reports to get a detailed view of user activity with QAUDJRRN.
