Audit Configuration in Alfresco

Auditing is disabled by default, To enable auditing, some changes we need to made.
 here i explained in detailed where we need to change different audit related files.

go to auditConfig.xml, U can find this file in tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco folder
change the value of enabled to true in place of false.

------------------------------------------------------------
<Audit xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/audit/1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" enabled="true" auditInternal="false" mode="all">
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**and copy this file into extension folder.

Next go to extension folder in alfresco root i.e.,\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\

create a new file, name it as a custom-audit-services-context.xml and add this below code
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>
<!-- The configuration of the audit model -->

<bean id="auditConfiguration" class="org.alfresco.repo.audit.AuditConfigurationImpl">
<property name="config">
<value>alfresco/extension/auditConfig.xml</value>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to turn on debug for audit information change log4j.properties which is located in

\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes      uncomment the line  which is shown below...

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.audit.model=DEBUG


also you can enable alfresco-global.properties which is located in \tomcat\shared\classes
---------------------------------------
#Audit Configuration
   audit.enabled = true
----------------------------------------

Also Enable file service and folder service in auditConfig.xml

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- The File/Folder Service -->

<Service name="FileFolderService" mode="none">
<Method name="rename" mode="all"/>
<Method name="move" mode="all"/>
<Method name="copy" mode="all" auditInternal="true"/>
<Method name="create" mode="all"/>
