Resolution

BRMS 5

Audit logging can be enabled like this:

KnowledgeRuntimeLogger logger = KnowledgeRuntimeLoggerFactory.newFileLogger(ksession, "test5.log");
//interact with the session
logger.close();

The output will be written in the file test5.log and it is possible to view this file directly in the JBDS. For more information read the This content is not included.documentation.

BRMS 6, BPM Suite 6, RHDM 7, RHPAM 7

Audit logging can be enabled like this:

KieRuntimeLogger logger = KieServices.Factory.get().getLoggers().newFileLogger(kSession,"test6.log");
//interact with the session
logger.close();

The output will be written in the file test6.log and it is possible to view this file directly in the JBDS. For more information read the This content is not included.documentation.
