"Database Audit Specification" not available.

Hi all, 
Been asked by one of the developers to audit delete & insert for one night only so I thought to investigate built in auditing via "new
Database Audit Specification".  I am in the sysadmin role but no  option to add a database audit, the server audit is however available.
This is SQL 2008R2 enterprise. 
Any ideas? 
Thanks

It is something that should be created at Database level so you need to navigate to Database - Security folder.
There "New DB Audit Sepcification" option can be seen.

  • DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION ON SPECIFIC USERS

    Hi All,
    Currently I am using SQL server 2012 and would like to implement database audit specification on specific users in my database. These are the users in my database name Payroll :-
    Payroll\Andy.Bred - db_owner
    Payroll\Arpit.Shah - db_owner
    Payroll\webapp - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
    web_payroll - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
    In my database audit specification settings, I would like to capture any SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE and EXECUTE command for users Payroll\Andy.Bred & Payroll\Arpit.Shah only since they owned db_owner access. However, I am unable to capture any single command
    from both users. I do not want to put 'Principal' as public since I just want to capture both users activity.
    Is it I miss out anything? Is it because of windows login account? Hope can get some advise here. Highly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
                     Han

    Hi   Han,
    Are your Windows login accounts member of the SQL Server sysadmin role? If that is the case, the login accounts are indirectly mapped as database user dbo. Please change the principal name in the audit action name to dbo and check if the users activity is
    being audited.
    There are also similar threads for your reference.

  • Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ?

    Hi,
    We are having a 2 node Sql Clustered instance of SqlServer 2008 R2 Enterprise running
    on windows server 2008 R2. We have about 88 databases in the instance.
    Our servers run on Intel Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @2.94 GHz with 6 cores(12 logical processor).
    The servers are having 12GB of RAM.
    We are planning to introduce database level audit to find if there is any activity on
    some of our databases. These databases are not growing in size and there is a request
    from the application team to ascertain whether the endusers are accessing the database
    over a period of time. In this context I have 2 queries-:
    1)Can we have multiple database audit specification on a single server audit ie can we
    audit multiple databases to find out the user activity on those databases at a time? Or
    should we a separate server audit for each database audit specification?
    2)We plan to have the target of the audit on a file on the same shared volume(lun) where
    the MDF file and LDF files are located(in EMC storage) and in this context what performance
    monitor counters should we watch to ascertain whether there is any performance degradation
    due to introduction of server audit.
    Thanking you in advance
    Binny Mathew.

    As Auditn  is at the SQL Server instance level. You can have multiple audits per SQL Server instance.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280386.aspx
    Database Audit Specification
    The Database Audit Specification object also belongs to a SQL Server audit. You can create one database audit specification per SQL Server database per audit.
    The database audit specification collects database-level audit actions raised by the Extended Events feature. You can add either audit action groups or audit events to a database audit specification. Audit events are
    the atomic actions that can be audited by the SQL Server engine. Audit action groups are predefined groups of actions. Both are at the SQL Server database scope. These actions are sent to the audit, which records
    them in the target. Do not include server-scoped objects, such as the system views, in a user database audit specification.
    Database-level audit action groups and audit actions are described in the topic SQL Server Audit Action Groups and Actions.
    You can also consider using a Profiler trace file to capture the events.

  • ALTER DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION

    Hi, 
    I've created a database audit in SQL2008R2 and now can't seem to disable/delete it.  I assumed it would be a case of
    disable database audit 
    delete database audit
    disable server audit 
    delete server audit
    However I cannot even do steps 1 and 2. I scripted deletion of the database audit but when I run it from a query window it just runs and runs.  
    USE [Admin]
    GO
    ALTER DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION [DatabaseAuditSpecification-20150420-122643]
    WITH (STATE = OFF)
    GO
    USE [Admin]
    GO
    DROP DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION [DatabaseAuditSpecification-20150420-122643]
    GO
    Now I can't even open/refresh the "Audits" folder at the instance level, getting this error
    "Lock request time out period exceeded. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1222)" 
    I have the option of restarting the instance tonight at 18:30, however I need to be able to audit
    a couple of databases for DELETE/INSERT before this time. 
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    I suspect that you may need to have exclusive access to the database for a short period of time in order to disable the Database
    Audit Specification.
    Perhaps try switching the database to RESTRICTED_USER in order to perform the audit deletion/disable and then
    reverting back to MULTI_USER

  • Delete a database option is not available in DBCA

    Hello,
    I have HP-UX 11v3. I have installed Oracle Standard Edition 10.2.0.1 and after that I installed 10.2.0.4 Patch Set.
    I configured two databases using DBCA. At the end I save scripts (not create database) and run script from shell.

    LovroDBCA reads the ORATAB file on Unix to determine what databases exist to be dropped (and DBUA does the same to determine which databases are to be upgraded). Most likely the ORATAB file does not contain an uncommented entry for your database.

  • How to find the database details from server audit specification with successfull login group?

    Hi,
    We have created a server audit for successfull logins.When we read the audit file using
    sys.fn_get_audit_file we find that all the fields related to the databases
    ie database_principal_id,database_principal_name,database_name are either 0 or null.
    Is there a method to find out to which database the login is accessing from the server
    audit specification of successfull login group.Although the logins are reading and writing
    data to the databases why there are no details of the databases?
    Thanking you in advance,
    Binny Mathew

    Hello Binny,
    The logins are used to connect to the instance and the access to the databases is performed via database users. So, once you connect to the instance via your login, the server level audit takes this action, records it, but without caring to which databases
    you want to connect after that. 
    Unfortunately there is no similar action group on the database audit specifications, that can track which user connected to the DB, except if you are using contained databases in SQL 2012.
    Probably you can share why you need such information and if there is something else specific that you wish to achieve, so we can propose a different solution/audit configuration.

    Hi,
    I think it is essential to set the official ip and the correct hostname in the /etc/hosts file.
    Per default there is the loopback IP bound to the hostname and localhost, you should change this to the desired IP.
    it should be something like this:
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
    192.168.1.1 yourhost.yourdomain yourhost
    Otherwise you will face some other nasty side-effects, with nfs for example.
    Hope that helps

  • ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while creating ASM or database

    Hi all,
    I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
    I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
    I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.
    Any idea guys?? How to resolve this issue??

    Hi FK,
    On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_check_verify_windows_services.htm
    Have you tried using oradim?
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_oradim_utility.htm
    The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
    The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
    C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
    -starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
    • startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
    • sid – The SID of the database to start.
    • usrpwd – The password for the database user.
    • starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
    Hope this helps. . .

  • DAte not available in infotype 0041(date specification)

    Hai All,
    In our place we are using 4 type of "date type"
    Z1 Hired date.
    Z2 Seperation Date
    Z3 Leave quota start
    Z4 Service entry date
    for all employees date specification maintain by dynamic action.
    for some employees date specification is not maintain by the system.they are having only Z1 Hiring date only. others not available.
    how can i rectify this problem?
    Kind regards.
    Dinesh.

    Hi
    You have to check your Dynamic action.
    While querying dynamic ation how did you quaried, on which grouping you quried ?
    The employee who dont get the details are members in that group are not?
    if you give it in feature you must have all 4 dates to all the employees, otherwise you will be in trobuble
    becuase SAP wont allow you fill the type only without date in infotype 0041
    Regards
    Adi
