Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: easy

During a security review, an auditor asks what the Databricks audit trail actually captures, expecting it to log only SQL queries. The platform lead must answer based on the documented coverage of the audit log system table (system.access.audit). Which answer is accurate?

  1. A. Only SELECT statements are captured; every other kind of event, including permission changes and object creation, is out of the audit trail's scope.
  2. B. Only sign-in events are captured; queries run against the lakehouse are recorded solely in query history, never in audit logs.
  3. C. A broad range of events is captured: logins and logouts, queries, permission changes such as grants, and object changes, each with the acting principal and timestamp.
  4. D. Permission changes are not captured; audit events record queries and logins but never grants or revokes on governed objects.
