Viewing Rule Audit Information

Edit online

About this task

The Rule Audit page provides complete auditing details for every rule-related change in your system. If more than one server (more than one Analytic Engine) is configured for your system, the Rule Audit page shows auditing details only for the currently selected server. You can change the selected server using the Server drop-down menu that appears in the top-right corner of the page. (If you do not see a Server drop-down menu, only one server is configured for your system.)
