Audit logs

You can use the Settings > Audit logs tab to view the list of operations or events that are performed from the GUI or cluster-level CLI. All the operations and events which are triggered are logged on an audit log file as a single entry.

The following information is displayed for each operation or event:

  • Event: This specifies the name of the operation or event.

  • Date and time: This specifies the date and time when the operation or event was completed.

  • User: This specifies the user who initiated the operation or event.

  • Severity: This specifies the severity of the logged message for the operation or event.

  • Description: This gives information about the operation or event.

You can also search for events by using the search box that is present above the audit log entry table. The search can be done based on event name, username, severity, description or sub-string of description.

The audit logs can be collected as part of Infrastructure module from the Basic tab of Generate Log Package. After you extract the collected log package, the audit logs are present in the infrastructure/auditlog directory. The audit logs can also be collected from the Advanced tab of Generate Log Package. You can collect the audit log file from /vx/MASTER_LOG_FS/auditlog/auditlog.log location in the Advanced tab.

The audit log captures the operation or event that a user has initiated. If that operation involves execution of some suboperations, then those suboperations also get logged as a new audit log entry.
