Impact of making all fields "audit"

[dompirrota]

Hi,

One million Turkish liras question, is there any impact of making all fields in sugar audit? This is a client request, is there any performance impact? Is not recommended to do so?

Thanks
Pierre

Hi Pierre,

there could potentially be a performance impact, it just depends on the number of records you have. The more records you audit, the more taxing it will be on the database, since all of this information is stored.

Auditing definitely impacts performance, but not before you reach a certain kind of records (the number depends on your hardware). Note that this only happens while performing one of these actions:

* Viewing the Changes popup
* Saving a bean

So in general, it's impact is quite low.

Note: Not all fields support auditing.

Hi everyone,

What are the fields that are not supported by auditing?

Any reply is highly appreciated.
