Hi list! I was wondering if anyone found particulaly useful Apps from the Splunk website that we may have overlooked? We've been using it for about a year and have been using it for multiple applications on multiple types of databases, not just Oracle. There's also a new 6.0 release if you haven't seen that. Check http://www.splunk.com/ Splunk has a limited command line history, but you can get all the search commands from the _audit index A search something like index=_audit action=search search="*" NOT maintain | table _time search Should work for you. Just keep adding NOT ? statements to weed out want you don't want to see. Might save you rewriting what one of your other DBAs already developed. Some references. http://pmdba.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/real-time-oracle-11g-log-file-analysis.pdf By Peter Magge http://itdavid.blogspot.ca/2011/02/manage-oracle-11gr2-asm-and-rdbms-audit.html By David Robillard BTW auditors generally like Splunk because it doesn't throw anything away.
