Gents,

I'm in the process of installing ArcSight on my network, and basically   
it works by running an ANALYZE/AUDIT/FULL command on SECURITY.AUDIT 
$JOURNAL and then importing the output file on a separate Unix for log   
processing.

I'm trying to find a way of clearing the current audit log (since I'm   
extracting the events out of it, i don't want duplicates, /SINCE risks   
missing events that happen within the delta). What is the proper way   
of clearing the security audit log?

What about SET AUDIT/SERVER=NEW_LOG to create a new version of the journal
before processing (i.e.: create new log then analyze the old one)? :-)

HTH,
G.
