Audit Log

The Audit log can be a valuable debugging tool. Each successful user action that is audited is shown in this panel. The choice of actions to be audited is controlled from the Auditing Settings panel. Each user action is one row in the table and each column is an attribute that can be used to get information about the audited action. Some columns might not contain any information.

For more information, see Setting Auditing Preferences.

Follow these steps to display attributes of an audit instance:

  1. From the Web Statistics tab, click the Audit Log subtab.
  2. Review the following attributes that describe action instance.

This is a display of all the Audit Attributes of the Repositories and connections used by CA OM Web Viewer.

The panel lists each attribute for every audit action, but some audit actions might not fill all the attribute columns. For example, a login event is not associated with any particular Report ID, so the audit item of a login will not list a value for the Report ID field.
