Audit Logs
Whenever a defined event occurs in the DSView management software system, the event is saved
in the audit log. Examples of events that may be logged include changes in the state of a managed
appliance, an unsuccessful login to the DSView management software, the completion of tasks
and logouts.
This chapter describes how to manage audit logs and how to configure email notifications when
events occur.
About Audit Logs
The types of audit log entries are predefined in the DSView software. See DSView management
software events on page 266 for more information.
To display audit log entries, click Reports in the tab bar. Audit Log is automatically selected in the
top navigation bar, Audit Log Views - All is automatically selected in the side navigation bar and the
Audit Log-All window will open. The Audit Log - All window contains a listing of all audit log
events that have occurred on the DSView software system.
Non-recoverable, critical or non-critical events may be viewed by users who are members of the
administrators or auditors user group by clicking one of the icons which appears in the top
navigation bar of the DSView Explorer window. The number of the specific type of event appears
to the right of the icon.
Audit log data may be exported from the DSView software into a comma separated value (.csv)
file. The .csv file may be viewed in a text editor or spreadsheet application, such as
Microsoft Excel.
Users may specify how long audit information is retained in the DSView software database by
using the Audit Log Retention Time window.
NOTE: Audit log information is stored in the DSView software database and is replicated. Increasing the audit
log retention time may impact the performance of your DSView software system. It is recommended that old
audit log entries be archived to .csv files by scheduling tasks. See Managing Tasks on page 244 for
more information.
