This graphic shows the architecture of the Audit Vault Audit data warehouse. Audit records, stored in the raw audit data table go through an extraction and transformation process prior to a data loading process (ETL). The ETL operation takes place in the staging area. Audit record storage in the Audit data warehouse is optimized for data analysis, and includes the metadata and summaries that aid in these data analysis. Audit Vault Administrators assigned the Auditor role are the users who perform further analsis of the data, create reports, and mine the data looking for more interesting information.
