Thanks Michael for your idea!
I have searched RFCs but did not find any "standard" definition of "Audit", but
there is one that discussed audit of Healthcare Applications(RFC 3881) as
follow:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3881.html
It looks like what you said, integrating Audit with ACL.So, if Zend_Audit is
needed, it should be focus on security aspect.

I can not say that it is really needed as I think most of us agree of the
Zend_Log capabilities should cover the needs.
However, I found that your idea interesting because of the previous apps that
I built required audit trails in order to pass the IT audit policy before
implementation. What I did was extending Zend_Log to this purpose and add them
to the framework I wrote for the app, and this things getting kinda repetitive
when developing more applications with different busines requirements.
Zend_Audit should simplify the effort of producing common audit trails.
Provide it with ability to be integrated with Zend_Acl, and extend it to a
class that works and produces some spesific trails to make the IT Audit folks
happy. I would be definately use it!
Maybe somethin default like
$trails = Zend_Audit::getInstance();
$trails->path('/path/to/trails/or/logs/dir');
$trails->logSystemActivity();
$trails->logCrudActivity();
$trails->logTransactions();
$trails->save();

Subject: [fw-general] Do we need Zend_Audit ?
Hi All,
I believe it will be intact if there is a Zend_Audit work with
Zend_Auth/Acl. However, as many of you could see there is a Zend_log doing
great job to track the system activities.
Do we really need Zend_Audit just because the name? or It could do some
special job and take advantage of Zend_log to simplify the development?
Any thoughts are very welcome!
Thanks.
Jason
