Prefer to use Elastic Agent for this use case?

Refer to the Elastic Integrations documentation.

Learn more

Elastic Agent is a single, unified way to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to a host. It can also protect hosts from security threats, query data from operating systems, forward data from remote services or hardware, and more. Refer to the documentation for a detailed comparison of Beats and Elastic Agent.

This is a module for ingesting Audit Trail logs from Oracle Databases.

The module expects an *.aud audit file that is generated from Oracle Databases by default. If this has been disabled then please see the Oracle Database Audit Trail Documentation.

Read the quick start to learn how to configure and run modules.

Compatibility

edit

This module has been tested with Oracle Database 19c, and should work for 18c as well though it has not been tested.

Configure the module

edit

You can further refine the behavior of the oracle module by specifying variable settings in the modules.d/oracle.yml file, or overriding settings at the command line.

You must enable at least one fileset in the module. Filesets are disabled by default.

Variable settings

edit

Each fileset has separate variable settings for configuring the behavior of the module. If you don’t specify variable settings, the oracle module uses the defaults.

For advanced use cases, you can also override input settings. See Override input settings.

When you specify a setting at the command line, remember to prefix the setting with the module name, for example, oracle.database_audit.var.paths instead of database_audit.var.paths.

database_audit fileset settings

edit

Example config:

- module: oracle
  database_audit:
    var.input: file
    var.paths: /home/user/oracleauditlogs/*/*.aud
var.paths
An array of glob-based paths that specify where to look for the log files. All patterns supported by Go Glob are also supported here. For example, you can use wildcards to fetch all files from a predefined level of subdirectories: /path/to/log/*/*.log. This fetches all .log files from the subfolders of /path/to/log. It does not fetch log files from the /path/to/log folder itself. If this setting is left empty, Filebeat will choose log paths based on your operating system.
var.tags
A list of tags to include in events. Including forwarded indicates that the events did not originate on this host and causes host.name to not be added to events. Defaults to [oracle-database-audit].
