Configuring Audit Logging

The audit log in Avalanche collects information about actions performed from the Avalanche Console. As part of the data collection, the audit log includes the IP address of each Console that generated a logged event. Configuring audit logging preferences, viewing, and clearing the log can only be performed by an Administrator.

Note:   For information on viewing actions in the audit log, see Viewing the Audit Log.

The audit log will store up to 200,000 actions in the database. When 200,000 actions have been stored, Avalanche will move the oldest records to a .csv file in the backup directory and delete them from the database.

You can also archive the audit log at a specific time every day. When the information is archived, it is copied to a .csv file. The .csv file is stored in the same directory where backup files are stored. For information on configuring the backup file location, see the Java Console User Guide.
