Using the Date Filter
When viewing audit log entries, an additional filter is available that allows you to display either all
events of a particular type or a series of events between two specific periods.
The audit log retains all events occurring in the DSView software system for the specified retention
time. The 5000 most recent events may be displayed using the side navigation bar links beneath the
Audit Log Views heading in an unfiltered Audit Log window. To use the side navigation bar links
to display older events in an Audit Log window, you may specify a range for when the events you
wish to display occurred. The older events will then appear in Audit Log windows when you select
the side navigation bar links.
To display all events of a particular type:
1. From an Audit Log window, click Date Filter. The Date Filter window will open.
2. In the first drop-down menu in the From line, select First Event.
3. In the first drop-down menu in the To line, select Last Event.
4. Click Apply. The previous audit log view window will open including all events.
To display audit log entries between two specific periods using the date filter:

audit log events you wish to view.
