Fifty Thousand Foot View needed for DB2 audit capabilities

[Byrocat]

My background is Sybase adn MS SQLServer, so I apologize in advance if
I use the wrong terminology (please correct that too!)

We have an initiative under way to "turn auditing on" for our DB2
servers.

Guess who has the job of defining what that means.....

What I'm looking for is a couple of URLs to webpages that specify what
the settings possible are and their impact upon the system logs.

The intent is not to cover the row-X-column-Y got changed, but general
security issues such as attempted access, insufficient permissions
(insert when not granted insert/update), that sort of thing.

Thanks in advance!

If you do a search in Google on: DB2 and Audit, it will lead to:

This is a good overview with sample output.
HTH, Pierre.
