Audits are defined by and invoked through rules and influenced by policies. Aspects of audits include schedules, status, reported results, and their compliance status.
MIMIX is shipped so that auditing can occur automatically. For day-to-day operations, auditing requires minimal interaction to monitor audit status and results. MIMIX user interfaces separate audit runtime status, compliance status, and scheduling information onto different views to simplify working with audits. Compliance errors and runtime errors require different actions to correct problems.
This chapter provides information and procedures to support day-to-day operations as well as to change aspects of the auditing environment.
