Obtaining an audit log of objects

Audit logs are available for IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor, Sterling Connect:Direct®, and Sterling Secure Proxy objects.

About this task

You can get an audit log for IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor objects that have been created, updated, and deleted. You can get an audit log for Sterling Connect:Direct objects, on monitored Sterling Connect:Direct servers, that have been created, updated, and deleted. You can get an audit log report for Sterling Secure Proxy objects, on monitored Sterling Secure Proxy servers, that have been created, updated, and deleted.

Important: When you right-click a server in the node tree and select Audit Log, the filter for the audit log is set to OBJECT TYPE EQUALS Server, and OBJECT ID matches <selected server name>.
