SQL compliance manager
Key Features
Powerful and Flexible SQL Server Auditing
|
|
Low-overhead data collection
- A lightweight agent captures data from the SQL
Server trace stream in real-time. Data collected can
be streamed to the repository in real-time or in
scheduled batches. |
|
|
Tamper-proof audit data repository
- Guarantees the integrity of audit data by
providing an immutable repository – all attempts at
changing or tampering with the audit data can be
detected. In addition, powerful self-auditing
features capture and can alert on all changes to
auditing policies and data collection parameters. |
|
|
“Auditor’s Mode”
– Users can be granted auditor privileges only.
Users in the auditor role have read-only permission.
This supports report and query execution as well as
self-audit, integrity reporting, and alerting of
changes to SQL compliance manager configuration and
data collection parameters. |
|
|
Fine-grained filtering
- Powerful filtering capabilities enable you to
collect only what is important for audit and
compliance; reducing data collection, transmission
and storage overhead. |
|
|
Customised alerting
- Provides customized alerting for over 200 specific
SQL Server Event types, allowing you to define rules
to receive immediate notification when critical SQL
server events occur. These events are stored in the
audit repository, can be emailed directly to a user
and/or written to an event log that feeds an
in-house operations monitor system (e.g. MOM). |
|
|
User-defined event auditing
- Supports comprehensive auditing of user-defined
events. For example, events can be captured for data
changes resulting from INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE
activity on tables, or additional application
context can be included within your audit trail. |
|
|
Data
auditing - SQL compliance manager enables
auditing of data changes on any table so you can
compare before and after data values resulting from
inserts, updates and deletions. |
Enterprise Management Features
|
|
Central Management Console
- Central console enables rapid configuration and
deployment of SQL compliance manager agents as well
as real-time monitoring of agent activity and the
audit data stream. This makes it easy to manage and
track audit activity over a large number of servers. |
|
|
Central Data Repository
- A central repository houses all audit data. The
published, user-friendly repository schema enables
easy development of queries and custom reports. In
addition, multiple repositories may be used where
required for security partitioning purposes. |
|
|
DynamicDeployment™ technology
- Automatically deploys and configures the SQL
compliance manager agents, enabling rapid deployment
and eliminating the need for time consuming software
installs on your SQL servers. |
|
|
Efficient data archive
- Built-in archiving mechanisms enable archiving to
be scheduled on any frequency and archives can
easily be restored to the current audit data
repository or a separate repository. Additionally,
you can easily leverage SQLsafe, Idera’s
high-performance backup solution, to compress and
encrypt audit data archives. |
