Audit Events

Any database server activity that could potentially alter or reveal data or the auditing configuration is considered an event. The database server secure-auditing facility lets you audit and keep a record of events either when they succeed or fail, or simply when the activity is attempted. You can identify each audit event by a four- or five-letter event code called an audit-event mnemonic. Appendix A. Audit Events, lists the audit-event mnemonics and describes the events that you can audit with the secure-auditing facility.

You can specify events that you want to audit in an audit mask. Auditing is based on the notion of audit events and audit masks.
