We have an audit policy for all logons and logoffs.
create audit policy connection_policy actions logon, logoff;
audit policy connection_policy;
Simple, tried and trusted, works and audits all logon/logoffs.
We recently started with a new monitoring tool that enters and exits every time its scrapes data (>500k entries a day and growing as we use the tool more) and is now accounting for 80% of our audit trail with logon/logoffs. We're happy enough not to audit logon/logoff for this user, so is there a way to exclude a specific user from a general logon/off policy above?
And yes, working with vendor to try and get the tool to use a persistent connection for the reporting tool, but thats an aside as we may have other use cases for (AUDIT everything_for_all_users EXCEPT FOR (list of usernames)) if there was a way to do that.
