About this task

Procedure

  1. Click System > Auditing. If you are on 2.3.3.3 or later, click Security and access > Auditing.
  2. Expand Audit Record Packages and click Generate a new audit record package.
    Set the fields on the dialog window to filter the system activity data by selecting a date range.
    • In the Start date field, select the start date from the calendar and select the time from which you want to generate data.
    • In the End date field, select the end date from the calendar and select the time from which you want the generated data to stop.
    Note:
    • If you do not specify a date range, by default, a new audit record package is created for all of the audit records since the last auto-generated audit package.
    • If you provide a date prior to the default start date, then the default start date is used.
    • An end date which is beyond the current date is considered the same as the default behavior. All of the records up to the current date are packaged.
  3. Click Generate.
    When the log is done, a new audit log package is available to download.
  4. Click the Refresh icon to display the existing audit record packages in the table.
    The list contains all the record packages that are currently stored on the system, giving the time created, file name, size, time zone, state and available actions for each record package. You can sort the table by clicking on any column header except Action.
  5. Download the existing audit records.
    Find the record that you want to download and from the Action column and click the Download icon. The record can be downloaded to your local drive.
