Retaining the Audit Log
By default, an audit log is retained for one week. However, you may specify a retention time of up
to one year.
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.
To specify an audit log retention time:
1. From the side navigation bar, click Log Retention. The Audit Log Retention Time window
will appear.
2. Type a number of days (from 1-365) in the Days field, or select it using the drop-down menu.
3. Click Save to save your changes.
Configuring Email Notifications
NOTE: The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) must be configured to receive email notifications about
audit events.
The DSView management software may be configured to send one or more users email
notifications when events occur. Multiple events may be configured so that an email is sent to the
defined users any time one of the specified events occurs. See DSView management software
events on page 266 more information.
Customizing the Email Notifications window
The Email Subject column is always displayed in the Email Notifications window: You may add
the From Address and To Address, using the Customize link. See Using the Customize link in
windows on page 14 for more information.
