Viewing the Audit Log

The audit log collects information about actions performed from the Avalanche Console. As part of the data collection, the audit log tracks the username and IP address for each logged event, the date and time of the Console activity, and a description of the changes that occurred. Only an administrator user can configure and view the audit log.

Note: For information about enabling and configuring the audit log, see Configuring Audit Logging.

If desired, select criteria to filter the logged events so you can view the entire log or just a specific type of entry.

Click View > Audit Log.

The Audit Log dialog box appears.

Select the filter or filters you want to use:

•
