# Configuring Usage Audit

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   cd $BIN_DIR

   Example

   cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

3. Once in the directory, activate the task for auditing distinct application users of Open iT, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   openit_oconfinit -u "core_audit.root.scheduler.jobs.core_audit.general.active=true"

The generated database, audit.db will be in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\database\audit.

1. In the command line, go to C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin.

2. Run the following command to generate distinct usage report:

   Command Syntax

   openit_audit.exe <args>

   Arguments for executing openit_audit:

   Name	Description
   --from	Use this to specify the start date for data parsing (YYYY-MM, YYYY/MM, YYYY)
   --to	Use this to specify the end date for data parsing (YYYY-MM, YYYY/MM, YYYY)
   --debug	Use this to activate debugging mode
   --verbose	Use this to activate verbose logging mode. This will not work without --debug.

   
   
   Example

   openit_audit.exe --from 2020-01 --to 2020-05 --debug --verbose

3. Verify that C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\database\audit contains the following files.

   • audit.db
   • audit.sign
   • audit_trail

1. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in /opt/openit/bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   cd $BIN_DIR

   Example

   cd /opt/openit/bin

2. Once in the directory, activate the task for auditing distinct application users of Open iT, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   ./openit_oconfinit -u "core_audit.root.scheduler.jobs.core_audit.general.active=true"

1. In the command line, go to /opt/openit/bin.

2. Run the following command to generate distinct usage report:

   Command Syntax
