Manually add and set the AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL parameter in the initialization parameter file, initsid.ora.
The AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL parameter is set to specify a facility and priority in the format AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL=facility.priority.
facility: Describes the part of the operating system that is logging the message. Accepted values are user, local0–local7, syslog, daemon, kern, mail, auth, lpr, news, uucp, and cron.
The local0–local7 values are predefined tags that enable you to sort the syslog message into categories. These categories can be log files or other destinations that the syslog utility can access. To find more information about these types of tags, refer to the syslog utility MAN page.
priority: Defines the severity of the message. Accepted values are notice, info, debug, warning, err, crit, alert, and emerg.
The syslog daemon compares the value assigned to the facility argument of the AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL parameter with the syslog.conf file to determine where to log information.
For example,the following statement identifies the facility as local1 with a priority level of warning:
AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL=local1.warning
See Oracle Database Reference for more information about AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL.
Now, all audit records will be captured in the file /var/log/audit.log through the syslog daemon.
