Oracle Database
Downloading JDK for the Agent
If the server where you are installing the Agent has already Java 1.8 then you don’t have to do
these steps. In my case, the Oracle database home has only Java 1.6, that’s why I have to install
Java 1.8 in a different Java Home for the agent:
Transfer the java tar file to the database server where java will be installed:
[root@druatdb java]# ls
jdk1.8.0_211 jdk-8u211-linux-x64.tar.gz
[root@druatdb java]# rm -rf jdk-8u211-linux-x64.tar.gz
[root@druatdb java]# ls
jdk1.8.0_211
[root@druatdb java]#
[oracle@druatdb ~]$
Enter the hostname of the Database Server that that will be monitored by Oracle Audit Vault
Enter the IP of the Database Server that will be monitored by Oracle Audit Vault
Copy the “Agent Activation Key” because it will be used later in this article to activate the
agent.
Check connectivity from the Oracle Audit Vault to the Database Server:

PING 192.168.56.30 (192.168.56.30) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.56.30: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.355 ms
mkdir -p /u01/app/av_agent_12c
To activate the agent you will need the “activation key” that was copied at the beginning of this
article. I
[oracle@druatdb av_agent_12c]$
Start Audit Agent: Activation key is only required in the first start.
If you need to troubleshoot the Agent, (database connection, etc), the Agent log is located in
$AGENT_HOME/av/log. In my case is "/u01/app/av_agent_12c/av/log/"
Registering an Oracle Database in Oracle Audit Vault Server to Collect Audit Data
Verify that the information for collect audit information is correct. You will see that the Status is
"Stopped", that's normal, the next step is actually start it up.
