What effect does Audit logging have on system performance?

[tomas_lindberg]

Hi

I'm aware that the question might not be easy to answer, but is there any rule of thumb or any way to calculate what the enabling of the Security audit filtered on all users in all clients would have on the performance of the system?

We are trying to get all of our business to use the same audit logging settings, but we need to be able to show how performance might be affected by this change.

Thanks

Tomas

Hi Thomas,

that is not hard to tell, but impossible to tell....

Please refer to SAP note #429343 .

Suggestion: switch on the log on one of your servers (dynamic switch) and trace the

impact during normal daily business.

You will have then a basis for your decision.

If you activate it then generally, consider that every server should write into its own (local) directory to avoid big performance issues (network, file system).

b.rgds,

Bernhard
