Hear, hear, Paul!  

I too, am a big fan of auditing.  

It can make your life sooooo much easier.  

Cheers,

Hi.
I just wanted to plug the use of auditing. By simply enabling audit session, I detemined that users that were accessing a database via a vpn connection were being timed out (LOGOFF BY CLEANUP). It wasn't the application that was causing the apparent hangs, it was the network. How bout that? The entry in dba_audit_trail even included the host IP_Address, proving that the users victimized by a vpn timeout policy were in a different network range.
You don't know what kind of info you're missing - until you run it for a few days and troll it. Its like "law and order" without needing a subpoena. :D
