Parsing Powerbroker Logs for SysAdmin Changes (SOX)
I need to identify a list of AIX command strings that can be used to parse Powerbroker logs for changes that are being made by Unix SysAdmins. Need to filter out (as much as possible) inquiry or routine maintenance activity and concentrate on software/security changes.
This is for internal SOX monitoring (control self-assessment) - I am not an auditor.
Can anyone help? Suggestions?
