The vROps PostgreSQL DB must provide centralized configuration of the content to be captured in audit records generated by all components of the DBMS.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-88281	VROM-PG-000360	SV-98931r1_rule		Medium

Description
If the configuration of the DBMS's auditing is spread across multiple locations in the database management software, or across multiple commands, only loosely related, it is harder to use and takes longer to reconfigure in response to events. The DBMS must provide a unified tool for audit configuration.
