HANA Audit trail target change

Hi,

Currently, Audit policies have been enabled in HANA to record the actions performed by the user.

I would like to change the Audit trail target from 'SYSLOG'(default) to 'Database Table' so that the audit information can be recorded in 'AUDIT_LOG' view and on top of this view, a report is to be built to analyze who did what and when.

Here are the doubts I have:

What would be the impact if I do this change - SYSLOG to DATABASE TABLE?

Do I need to create the existing policies again?

Can we track the User activities of a Web application that is built on HANA?

Can someone help me on this. Thanks!

The impact would obviously be that the audit data is now stored in a database table. The table is part of the database memory usage and backup.

The existing policies don't have to be recreated.

As the audit-able events are not extensible, you can only track the pre-defined events.

Not too sure how much insight that gives you for your web application.
