# Model audit

## Objective

This optional configuration provide the **ability to audit predications** to enable model retraining, feature and prediction [drift management](https://www.ibm.com/topics/model-drift), model observability and any local business governance requirements. 

The configuration will dynamically **create an in-memory database table**, using the process name as the target table and rest endpoints to enable direct access and export functions.

Use this feature to support external drift monitoring and model retraining

This configuration enables the auditing of model predictions for monitoring and retraining purposes.

The `pmml predictor` is configured to use a specific model: `iris_rf.pmml` and the `audit configuration` sets up an in-memory database to store audit data such as predictions.

The schema is set to `ml_audit`, with a queue capacity of 5000 and a flush frequency of 300 seconds, allowing for real-time tracking of prediction performance and potential model drift.

### Example

```yaml
pmml predictor:
  name: irisScorer
  model: ./models/iris_rf.pmml
  response field: flowerPrediction
  
  audit configuration:
    target schema: ml_audit
    queue capacity: 5000
    flush frequency: 300
```
