How to View Object Audit Trails

As an administrator or an operator (with access privileges), you can view the audit trail for objects (such as services, CIs, alerts, connectors, and so on). An audit trail shows updates to a selected object as tracked in the CA SOI database.

You can also create and manage custom searches and folders.

The following examples are a small subset of the many audit trail updates available:

• a state change
• acknowledged
• cleared
• created
• deleted
• maintenance mode

Use this scenario to guide you through the process:

1. (Optional) Configure the audit management security.
2. (Optional) Configure your audit search preferences.
3. Perform any of the audit trail searches:
   • Launch the Auditor and manually enter the audit trail search parameters.
   • Launch the Auditor in the context of an object.
   • View the recent audit trail for an object.
4. (Optional) Create custom audit trail searches.
5. (Optional) Create and manage your custom audit trail search folders and searches.
