Data Monitoring

All changes to data stored in the database are recorded in the Informix transaction logs and these logs can be accessed by authorized users.

Informix provides an optional Auditing facility which can be configured by the customer to view a variety of different activity within the database including access and changes to data in the database. There are also external products such as [IBM Guardium Data Protection for Databases] (https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/ibm-guardium-data-protection) which can be used to audit database activity.

Informix also provides a number of monitoring interfaces in the form of event alarms and web tools which can be used by the customer to perform ad hoc monitoring of activity on the database. For more information, refer to Database Monitoring.
