# Configuring Usage Audit

1. Open core_audit.oconf in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\scheduler.

2. Locate and set active value to true to activate the task for auditing distinct application users of Open iT.

   ...
    7|    core_audit
    8|    {
   ...
   16|        active
   17|        {
   18|          type=bool
   19|          value=true
   ...

3. Save the changes.

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:

    openit_audit.exe <args>

   Arguments for executing openit_audit:

   Name	Description
   --from	start date for data parsing (YYYY-MM, YYYY/MM, YYYY)
   --to	end date for data parsing (YYYY-MM, YYYY/MM, YYYY)
   --debug	activate debugging mode
   --verbose	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. Open core_audit.oconf in /var/opt/openit/etc/scheduler.
