You can display the current audit configuration with the -c option of the onaudit utility.

Figure 7 shows output from the onaudit -c command on UNIX.

Current audit system configuration:
   ADTMODE =           1
   ADTADMMODE=           0
   ADTERR =           0
   ADTPATH =           /tmp
   ADTSIZE =           20000
   Audit file =    64

In Figure 7, the current audit system is configured as follows:

ADTMODE is set to 1, which indicates that database server-managed auditing is on.
ADTADMMODE is set to 0, which indicates that onmode, oninit, and onstat events are not audited.
ADTERR is set to 0, which indicates a continue error mode.
ADTPATH shows the default directory for audit files.
ADTSIZE, which represents the maximum size of the audit file, is specified as 20,000 bytes.
The number of the current audit file in the current audit directory is 64.

If you are user informix, you can also retrieve this information from the SMI sysadtinfo table in the sysmaster database. For details, see the IBM Informix: Administrator's Reference.
