Archived audit events

You can configure backups of audit events by setting the value of configuration properties in the IBM Marketing Platform | Audit Events | Audit Events Configuration category on the Settings > Configuration page.

The archived data is stored in the USM_AUDIT_BACKUP table and can be included in the Audit Events report when you set a custom date range that includes data from the archive. Loading a report that includes archived data can take longer than loading a report that does not include archived data.

The system posts a notification when an audit backup process completes. You can also configure a group of users who receive these notifications in emails.

Set the following properties to configure audit event backups.

  • Enable Audit Backup
  • Archive data after the number of days specified here
  • Keep Audit records in primary for number days specified here
  • Archive start time
  • Name of group to receive audit backup notifications
