Auditing database performance impact

  • Can anyone explain me that do we get any performance issues when we implement database auditing on whole database. This database is used very limitedly though..but still I want to know by auditing

    in this format, do we get any performance impact on database or not

    I am implementing auditing : SCHEMA LEVEL AUDITING

    CREATE DATABASE AUDIT SPECIFICATION Example2

    FOR SERVER AUDIT ADEVNTUREWORKSAudit

    ADD (INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,SELECT

    ON SCHEMA::dbo

    BY public)

    WITH (STATE = ON)

    GO

    If someone could explain me that would be great. Thanks

  • Linchi Shea did some great analysis on this very question.

    The performance impact of SQL 2008 R2 Audit and SQL Trace

    He also did a 3-part series on the perils of using synchronous auditing in SQL Audit. Well worth a read.

    Part 1

    Part 2

    Part 3

    Hope these help.
