Auditing Server Activity
The audit trail log records a history of activity logged by DNS and DHCP
servers. You can use the Audit Trail log to diagnose network trends. A DNS
audit trail would include a history of DNS queries and the hosts requesting
them. A DHCP audit trail would include a history of address assignments,
including which host had an address during a given period of time and a list
of addresses that had already been in use when pinged.
Refer to “Configuring DNS Auditing” on page 105 for information about
configuring a DNS server for auditing. Refer to “Configuring DHCP
Auditing” on page 108 for information about configuring a DHCP server for
auditing.
