Fix Recommendation

Run the following command to set the audit data directory and archive data directory to the location which is compatible with the organization's centralized system:

$db2audit configure datapath <AUDIT DATA DIRECTORY > archivepath <AUDIT ARCHIVE DIRECTORY>

Note: See the following knowledgebase page for information regarding extracting Audit logs to syslog for any file system other than Windows:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0002072.html

DB2 does not directly support syslog on windows. Devise an alternate method of log capture.

Check Contents
