    For versions of Cognos analytics 11.011 and above, can multiple audit/logging databases be implemented?

    Hi Dax,
    You should be able to add multiple Audit databases to your configuration. I've done testing with multiple types at one time to compare outputs and had no issues.
    Cheers,

    Trevor, thank you for sharing this interesting formation. 

    Can you control what info is logged in each Audit? or they function the same and collect same info?

    Thanks!

    @Richard Mabjish I think could control it to a point. You could have multiple dispatchers with their own Audit database connection then route requests based on Group or Package etc to specific dispatchers. I think you would probably need to have all of the databases set up on the CM to capture login/logout etc.
    This is not something I've done but I think it would work. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
