Audit Vault agent on another server cannot read OS audit files on source

We have very highly secured database running on node1, we don't want to install agent on that server, so we installed it on node2. We want to use OSAUD collector to audit sys operations. But OSAUD collector is failing because it cannot read audit_trail_dest folder on the source database, network admins don't want to enable SSH from node2/oracle to node1.
Please suggest what are the options I have in this case.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for the clarification on versions and architecture. In the future do not use the term "node" unless you are referring to RAC as it will cause very substantial confusion. You don't have two nodes ... you have two servers.
Throw it back at management. Ultimately they need to decide whether enabling secure communications makes sense in an environment where they wish to implement Audit Vault's very considerable capabilities.
I think your network admins need to be sent off to a re-education camp. One that reminds them that their purpose is to support the organization. I doubt your business model shows substantial revenue generation from network administration.

  • REG:Oracle Audit Vault Agent Installation fails at the last step .

    Hi ,
    I am installing Audit vault agent 10.3 and it is failing at the last on solarisis 10 sparc 64 bit .
    The error is
    OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed/cancelled. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any "Recommended" assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
    I have tried the Doc ID 1058184.1 but it fails at the end saying cannot update av.properties , If we create the the directories manually and create the av.properties file then the agent will start but it is not stopping until you kill the agent .
    Moreover if i am continuing with this agent after registering the collectors i am not able to start them as i am facing the http 404 error .
    So i think i need to install the audit agent successfully first .
    can anybody help me please as we are on client side and it is critical deliverable .
    Regards

    In case you're still dealing with this issue:
    I hit this problem when the OS user I was installing with was not in the proper OS group. I don't have the documentation in front of me right now, but make sure your user is in the DBA and/or OINSTALL group.

    I am able to ping from Windows to HP machine and Vice versa (By IP Address and Hostname).
    Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong and how to solve it.
    Please mail to my email address ([email protected])
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Audit Vault  Agent sizing (harware requirements)

    Hi, I need to provide my customer an estimation of the disk space needed for the Audit Vault Agent, size of archivelog files of the source database so that REDO collector could work without problems, and other demands of source side (audit vault agent) versus audit vault server?
    Is there any document like "audit vault configuration best practice" related with hardware requirements (size of disk space, size of archivelog files, aud records...)???
    Thank you all in advance..
    Edited by: user10600747 on Jan 4, 2011 5:21 AM

    Hi Elmin,
    I was doing implementation on Audit Vault with around twenty source databases. These were hardware requirements:
    Server:
    HP-UX 11.31, 2 CPUs, 16 GB RAM, 1TB of storage for database
    Agent (these are from the installation guide):
    - At least 512 MB of available physical memory (RAM)
    - Swap space of 1024 MB or twice the size of RAM
    - 400 MB of disk space in the /tmp directory
    - 1.6 GB of disk space for the Oracle Audit Vault collection agent software (but if you apply patches you need actually more than this).

    Sve

  • Installation audit vault agent with RAC configuration

    Hi at all,
    I have a question about the installation of the agent on the RAC configuration. Where must I install the Audit vault agent, on all RAC nodes or is there a properly configuration?
    Thanks
    Vincenzo

    By default when you install the agent on any single node the installation recognizes that it is a cluster and presents you with a list of available nodes from which to select.
    With a RAC cluster you have one database and multiple instances. All instances will write to one, and only one AUD$ and FGA_LOG$ table so if you are using database auditing one node will suffice. Which node that is though depends on knowing which node is up at any one time so you could potentially choose a node that is dropped from the cluster or is down for patching and maintenance while the cluster is still running. With respect to REDO collection each node has its own redo thread so you definitely need to be collecting from every node.
    Audit Vault has not been out long enough that I can tell you from experience what might be defined as "best practice" and often what we really need to study is "worst practice" to know what not to do. But in the case of RAC my instinct would be to first determine the collection type(s) and then decide. Erring on the side of collecting from all nodes makes a lot of sense.

  • Cannot Read Entire TXT Files in "Notes" folder

    Ihave a 4G iPod nano (red, if relevant... I think it's a 4g?) I cannot read entire text files in the notes folder. I can read part of the file, usually up to about a 2 KB size in standard Unicode format, but I am unable to view the entire text file. For example, I have a copy of Beowulf on my iPod that is about 267KB in size; however, I can only read through 1.87KB of it. The rest shows up in Windows Explorer and is fully functional there, but I Cannot view it from my iPod.
    Anyone else have this problem, and know what I can do to fix this (besides breaking it up into about 50 chapters?)

    Do you have access to another Mac to see if the disk can be read by it?  If it can't then you're pretty sure it's the disk. If it can then there may be issues with your optical drive which might be cleared up by using a cleaning disk on it, one that uses dry brushes (no liquid).
    If you have access to another Mac and it can read the iWork disk make a disk image of it so you can move the disk image to your iMac and install from the disk image.

  • How to login to a remote (FTP??) server and read an XML file?

    Hello all,
    I would like some information on how to login to a remote server using a Java program.
    The server might be a ftp server, because the client will ftp a xml file to this server, and the java program needs to login to this server and read the xml file, then convert it into a general report with headings and data from the xml file.
    How can I quickly find the API information to login to a server and read an xml file?
    If anyone knows the packages off the top of their heads, that would save me some time surfing.
    If anyone can provide me some links, code examples, or information I'd greatly be thankful.
    sharla

    You can also just use plain java.net. It supports FTP. Example:URL u = new URL("ftp://user:passwd@server/path/to/file.xml");
    InputStream in = u.openStream();
    // do what you want ...

  • I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?

    I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.

    I don't know -- sorry.  I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters.  If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would.  Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
    I don't use RAW+JPEG.  Can someone who does offer some suggestions  .
    (Added:)
    And _always_ back up your files.  In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.

  • [warn] mod_bonjour: Cannot read template index file '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html'.

    Operating System: Lion 10.7.5
    I was getting this warn in the logs
    [warn] mod_bonjour: Cannot read template index file '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html'.
    and looking to the System directory on;
    System/Library/User Template
    User Template was locked and onwned by the System.
    I went to the terminal and type;
    sudo mkdir "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/"
    sudo touch "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Sites/index.html"
    re-started Apache
    The warn went away gracefully

    I am adding here that this seems to be a permissions bug since the "User Template" is owned by the system and no one else have access to it. The warn went away temporarily because the permissions still wrong in that directory. I changed the permissions on the User Template directory to read and see what is inside and it loops to the user system structure. Most of the directories in the system structure are locked leaving only the public and sites directory with the correct permissions. Inside of the sites folder have a blank index.html file with read access.
    So I am not sure if what I did until now will resolve the warn issue.
    What I did was to get info on the User Template directory, authenticate as root and change the permission to the admin to read only. That is harmles since not even the admin can change its content. The warn seems to have gone away for now. However, the point here is to find out if the permissions should be read and write for the admin instead of read only or some other conf. More latter!

    It sounds like there's a problem with that file. You will need to re-copy the files to USB or even re-download the operating system from Microsoft.
