NAME

Audit::DBI::Event - An event as logged by the Audit::DBI module.

VERSION

Version 1.7.2

SYNOPSIS

use Audit::DBI::Event;

my $audit_event = Audit::DBI::Event->new(
	data => $data, #mandatory
);

my $audit_event_id = $audit_event->get_id();
my $information = $audit_event->get_information();
my $diff = $audit_event->get_diff();
my $ipv4_address = $audit_event->get_ipv4_address();

METHODS

new()

Create a new Audit::DBI::Event object.

my $audit_event = Audit::DBI::Event->new(
	data => $data, #mandatory
);

Note that you should never have to instantiate Audit::DBI::Event objects directly. They are normally created by the Audit::DBI module.

ACCESSORS

get_id()

Return the audit event ID.

my $audit_event_id = $audit_event->get_id();

get_information()

Retrieve the extra information stored, if any.

my $information = $audit_event->get_information();

get_diff()

Retrieve the diff information stored, if any.

my $diff = $audit_event->get_diff();

get_diff_string_bytes()

Return the size in bytes of all the text changes recorded inside the diff information stored for the event.

This method can use two comparison types to calculate the size of the changes inside a diff:

  • Relative comparison (by default):

    In this case, a string change from 'TestABC' to 'TestCDE' is a 0 bytes change (since there is the same number of characters).

    my $diff_bytes = $audit_event->get_diff_string_bytes();
  • Absolute comparison:

    In this case, a string change from 'TestABC' to 'TestCDE' is a 6 bytes change (3 characters removed, and 3 added).

    my $diff_bytes = $audit_event->get_diff_string_bytes( absolute => 1 );

    Note that absolute comparison requires String::Diff to be installed.

get_ipv4_address()

Return the IPv4 address associated with the audit event.

my $ipv4_address = $audit_event->get_ipv4_address();
