Prerequisites

• Access to the Configuration > Monitoring > Audit trail (CM002) menu.
• Enabled audit trail.

Introduction

The audit trail is a means for the administrator to monitor changes made within the system. This menu allows for knowing who was responsible for a status change in system information, when and how it happened, as well as the cause. 

Depending on the applied configurations, the audit trail can store relevant data, such as:

• User who edited the information.
• IP of the host that requested the information change.
• Date and time of the information change.
• Type and ID # of the object whose data was changed.
• Attribute whose data was changed.
• Executed operation (insertion, editing, or deletion).
• New and former values.
• Value type.
• Confirmation of the use of a countersign to perform the operation.
• Reason the user provided when performing the operation (if any).
