Accessing audit events

Complete logging of all events is maintained in the repository. Audit reports may be either user-driven or object-driven.

User-driven reports are available in the Manage Users page.

Object-driven reports are available in the History tab of any object, and the repository as a whole has a History tab as well.

Additionally, audit logs may be downloaded using the REST API.

The object based UI logs include:

  • Date/Time
  • User
  • Object and Context
  • Event Type
  • Description including IP Address

The following table presents the different types of event, their meaning and how to access them.
