How to save change log history for many years

aalbrechm

Good morning to all,

i do have a AR Server 8.1.3 running for around 1k people. As it is configured in default the change history is usable for 30 days.

I am struggling to activate the History DB (replication). The requirement we have is that all changes (especially group membership changes) will be tracked and saved for around 10 years. 

We do have 1 AR Server with Sync and one SQL Server for the data.

Can you tell me if and how we can achieve this goal?


Regards,

Michael

    To add to what the other two gentlemen have already provided, in case you're not aware, there is a tool that is included in the Active Roles installation media - though it is a separate install - called the Collector. One of the purposes of this tool is to gather the Active Roles event logs (from all AR servers) into a single database (completely separate from all other Active Roles databases). You then have the ability to use SQL Reporting Services-based reports (deployable from within the Collector) to run reports against this database.

    Obviously this is a bit old-school, but for event collection, it is serviceable. Obviously if you have a tool like Splunk or InTrust, you would be better off, but this will work if you don't have budget for additional tools.
