- Mapped these action numbers for the
oracle:audit:text source type to use the Change.Account_Management data model: 17, 51, 53, 67

Starting from the release for Oracle 21c, Oracle will no longer support traditional auditing, as referenced here. Splunk best practice is to use Oracle Unified Auditing instead of previous Oracle Auditing functionality. Also note, Splunk may no longer support the source types for these previous auditing configs (such as oracle:audit:text and oracle:audit:xml) in upcoming releases of the the Splunk Add-on for Oracle Database.
