My question
was not grounded on dealing with space issues or anything like that. I'm a
FIRM proponent of logging as much as possible whenever and wherever
possible. Having been on the security side since 1995, I have been involved
in more than one situation where I had to tell management, "Gee, boss, I
can't answer that for you because we didn't log that information." I'd
rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Amen!

I cannot guess how many times I've seen this sequence of comments:

"Where can I find out why 'x' happened?"
"Look in your QAUDJRN (or QHST or whatever is needed)."
"We don't have auditing turned on (or we delete all logs or whatever). Why doesn't the system have this info available without auditing?"

Sigh.
