I have Oracle 12.2.0.1 unified audit policy for developers:
CREATE AUDIT POLICY dev_dml_audit_policy
ACTIONS DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE
WHEN 'SYS_CONTEXT(''USERENV'', ''SESSION_USER'') in (''DEV1'',''DEV2'',''DEV3'') '
EVALUATE PER statement;
This police auditing all DML for all tables in database for users: 'DEV1','DEV2','DEV3' .
I need exclude from auditing certain tables, for example: user1.table1, user2.table2

I have around 500 tables in DB. If there is any DML operations performed on that table then trigger should be fired to capture those dml activities and should load it into an audit table. I dont want to write 500 individual triggers. Any simple method to achieve this?
To switch all high level auditing of DML statements for all tables:
AUDIT INSERT TABLE, UPDATE TABLE, DELETE TABLE;
What objects we can manage depends on what privileges we have. Find out more.
AUDIT will write basic information to the audit trail. The destination depends on the value of the AUDIT_TRAIL parameter. If the parameter is set to db the output is written to a database table: we can see our trail in USER_AUDIT_TRAIL or (if we have the privilege) everything in DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL.
The audit trail is high level, which means it records that user FOX updated the EMP table but doesn't tell us which records or what the actual changes were. We can implement granular auditing by creating Fine-Grained Audit policies. This requires a lot more work on our part so we may decide not to enable it for all our tables. Find out more.
Triggers are used on tables only, not the entire database. Ignoring the complexity of maintaining disparate data types, data use, context of various tables and their use, what you are looking for would be extremely complex, something no RDBMS has addressed at the database level.
There is some information on triggers at this link:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/A57673_01/DOC/server/doc/SCN73/ch15.htm
You could place a trigger on each table that calls the same procedure ... but then all that complexity comes into play.
As stated on the topic , I am looking for a way for us to track on the activities of the specific user. May or may not have the SYSDBA or SYSOPER privilege.
For example , HR.
I would like to know what are the details of his login , what are the objects that are changed by him , what were their original values , SQL statements executed , what procedure/functions that were executed etc.
Could we set up such audit trail log in Oracle 11gR2 Standard/Enterprise?
Thanks
First of all you need to enable auditing in your database by setting audit_trail parameter as shown below-
SQL> alter system set audit_trail='OS|DB|DB,EXTENDED|XML|XML, EXTENDED';
Initialization Parameters Used for Auditing
Then, you can audit user as-
SQL>CONNECT sys/password AS SYSDBA
SQL> AUDIT ALL BY username BY ACCESS;
SQL> AUDIT SELECT TABLE, UPDATE TABLE, INSERT TABLE, DELETE TABLE BY username BY ACCESS;
SQL> AUDIT EXECUTE PROCEDURE BY username BY ACCESS;
AUDIT
Audit records can be found in DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL view.Following query list all audit related views.
SQL>SELECT view_name FROM dba_views WHERE view_name LIKE 'DBA%AUDIT%';
Fine-grained auditing is available in Enterprise Edition only.

I want to do something like this:
AUDIT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON HR.EMP BY SCOTT BY ACCESS;
But it has wrong syntax. To fix it, i have to remove "BY SCOTT". How can i implement auditing similar like this in oracle?
In other words, Scott's statements on HR.EMP table should be audited, but not others.
See https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_4007.htm
You try to audit schema object. In this case you cannot specify auditing user (BY SCOTT). This is possible only when auditing sql statements.
Remove BY SCOTT clause:
AUDIT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON HR.EMP BY ACCESS;
I have set audit_sys_operations to true, audit_trail is DB,EXTENDED. now I have a account name admin who have DBA privilige. I use AUDIT CREATE ANY TABLE BY ADMIN, But the select * from SYS.AUD$ just show nothing about admin creating a new table even when admin did create several tables;
can I see the audit record of user with DBA privilege ?
Well, I will make a summary here for future come-acrossers.
AUDIT_TRAIL=DB/TRUE enables systemwide auditing where audited records are written to the
database audit trail(the SYS.AUD$ table). The only audit data that will not be written to the table is the audit data pertaining to the activities of SYSDBA.
As I had set AUDI_TRAIL， I can see audited activities in SYS.AUD$。
As stated here:
AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS enables or disables the auditing of top-level operations, which are SQL statements directly issued by users when connecting with the SYSASM, SYSBACKUP, SYSDBA, SYSDG, SYSKM, or SYSOPER privileges. (SQL statements run from within PL/SQL procedures or functions are not considered top-level.) The audit records are written to the operating system's audit trail. The audit records will be written in XML format if the AUDIT_TRAIL initialization parameter is set to xml or xml, extended.
Since I had set audit_sys_operations to true, oracle will audit SYSDBA activities, but the records will not show up in SYS.AUD$ , it will be at (in my case /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump) .
But be careful, do not look up the wrong audit log file. The activities record are contained in file like orcl_ora_6225_20160513082219532252143795.aud
. I share some of it's contents below:
ACTION :[14] 'drop table foo'
DATABASE USER:[1] '/'
PRIVILEGE :[6] 'SYSDBA'
CLIENT USER:[6] 'oracle'
CLIENT TERMINAL:[5] 'pts/3'
STATUS:[3] '942'
DBID:[10] '1439309578'
Fri May 13 08:00:17 2016 -07:00
LENGTH : '205'
ACTION :[51] 'CREATE TABLE FOO(
FOO1 INTEGER,
BAR VARCHAR(10)
)'
DATABASE USER:[1] '/'
PRIVILEGE :[6] 'SYSDBA'
CLIENT USER:[6] 'oracle'
CLIENT TERMINAL:[5] 'pts/3'
STATUS:[1] '0'
DBID:[10] '1439309578'
You can see that I used an account with SYSDBA privilige to drop a table named foo and recreate it. The number in the brackets is the length of the value.
That's how auditing SYSDBA works.
If you want to audit what SYS does, you'll need to set the AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS parameter to TRUE which you already did. But SYS operations won't be written to SYS.AUD$ for security reasons. Since SYS can delete rows from the AUD$ table, the SYS audit trail has to be written to the file system (where, presumably, you can configure file permissions so that the DBA cannot modify the audit trail).
I am new to Oracle Workspace Manager. I have a trigger that fills my IDs every time i insert a record. I created the trigger before I enable the versioning of my table.
After versioning was enabled in my table, I can no longer find my trigger but have these triggers instead:
OVM_DELETE_7
OVM_INSERT_7
OVM_UPDATE_7
What I wanted to do is Query the triggers that I created on my tables. Is there a way to do that without disabling the versioning on my table? I have too many versioned-enabled tables and that would be a hassle disabling the version in every table just for that query.
To get a list of triggers created on a version-enabled tables that you(current user) owns, you can query USER_WM_TAB_TRIGGERS view or ALL_WM_TAB_TRIGGERS view (if you've been granted create any trigger privilege) to get information about triggers for all version-enabled tables.
