The audit log is an SQL database that serves as a repository for
data mining. Audit logs contain details about transactions,
including the number of transactions and the success or failure of
each transaction. You can specify whether to implement auditing for
each procedure.
Caution
All Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF) databases, including
MPFConfig, MPFAudit, MPFTranLogData, MPFSample, and Resource
Manager, are SQL databases. The only database you should access
directly in SQL, however, is the MPFAudit database. Directly
accessing the MPFConfig, MPFTranLogData, MPFSample, and Resource
Manager databases can cause database corruption, transaction
processing errors, and the loss of data. Access these databases
using Provisioning Manager or Configuration Database Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider only.
