Cron job for auditing

I was wondering if there is a way to initiate a way for alfresco to run the audit based on maybe a cron job. I can't find any documentation that shows how to do that.

From what I am finding is that the only way for the AAAR_Extract.sh file will only pull data from alfresco AFTER it has been audited. Which I want to be able to run both for x amount of times a day. Anyone know how to do that?

Hi ESWBitto,

The Alfresco audit data are stored in the Alfresco database in real time, so you don't need to run a job or something else.
You can retrieve the audit data using a REST service (suggested) or a direct enquiry to the database (discouraged).

On the AAAR side, the AAAR_Extract script extracts all the audit data from the last extraction until the day before.
Why the day before?
Because usually the analytics needs in most part of the cases are not "real time" analytics (useful in finance or other very specific services).
If you need real time analytics probably the solution should be different… but we should have to dive deep in the needs.

I hope this will help you.
