NTP- D214 Off-Load the Audit Trail Record
NTP-D214 Off-Load the Audit Trail Record
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at the node where you want to off-load the
audit trail log. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 In node view, click the Maintenance > Audit tabs.
Step 3 Click Retrieve.
Step 4 Click Archive.
Step 5 In the Archive Audit Trail dialog box, navigate to the directory (local or network) where you want to
save the file.
Step 6 Enter a name in the File Name field.
You do not have to give the archive file a particular extension. It is readable in any application that
supports text files, such as WordPad, Microsoft Word (imported), etc.
Step 7 Click Save.
The 640 entries are saved in this file. Subsequent entries continue with the next number in the sequence,
rather than starting over.
Note Archiving does not delete entries from the CTC audit trail log. However, entries can be
self-deleted by the system after the log maximum is reached. If you archived the entries, you
cannot reimport the log file back into CTC and will have to view the log in a different
application.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Purpose This procedure describes how to off-load up to 640 audit trail log entries
into a local or network drive file to maintain a record of actions
performed for the node. If the audit trail log is not off-loaded, the oldest
entries are overwritten after the log reaches capacity.
