Fix Recommendation

Configure the MarkLogic to produce audit records when it denies attempts to change the configuration or when other errors prevent attempts to change the configuration of the MarkLogic Server or database(s).

Perform the fix from the MarkLogic Server Admin Interface with a user that holds administrative-level privileges.

1. Click the Groups icon.
2. Click the group in which the configuration to be checked resides (e.g., Default).
3. Click the Auditing icon on the left tree menu.
4. Set the audit enabled field to true.
5. Enable the following audit events:
- Audit Configuration Change
- Configuration Change
- User Configuration Change
6. Set the Audit Restrictions - Outcome to Both.
7. If any Audit Restriction - Inclusions/Exclusions are approved in the SSP, ensure they have been applied.
