    I need to do some change auditing on our CPPM implementation and want to log when administrators make configuration changes in CPPM and in CPG.  Is it possible?  Running 6.6.5.93747.

    You should see these changes in the audit log.

    Thanks much for the reply cappalli.  Unfortunately not to the extent that I am looking for.  The genesis of looking into this is that we had someone give users more controlls in the user portal than they should have had, at an unknown point in time. 

     

    Since then, there have been multiple config changes in Guest Manager, yet not all of those config change instances are showing up in the Audit log (CPPM > Monitoring > Audit Viewer) and what is there just says that a change was made to Guest Manager, not what changed.  We are really looking to get a lot more granualrity.  The Manual for 6.6 CPPM is frustratingly light on logging configuration.

    In a future release we will be adding the ability to send the contents of the CPG Application log to an external syslog server, hopefully that will help.

    Thanks much dannyjump.  Not ideal, but we will eagerly await the new functionality, which I would hope is forthcoming fairly soon.  Change auditing is becoming more critical for us, so getting granularity in the logs will be a welcomed feature.

    It won't be in this quarter.

    Any news on getting cpg_application_log exporting to syslog?

    Seems like this is going to be a challenge with the current (in 6.6 anyway) 1024 byte syslog message limit or will that be adjusted upward?
