Audit Trail

Last Updated : Mar 06, 2024 |

The audit trail lists the last 16 actions performed on the system from which the configuration loaded into Manager was received. It includes actions by service users such as sending a configuration back, reboots, upgrades and defaulting the system.

Audit trail events can be output to a Syslog server through the system's System | System Events settings.

The last failed action is always recorded and shown in red. It is kept even if there have been 16 subsequent successful actions.

The Audit Trail is part of the system configuration file received from the system. If the configuration is kept open between send and reboot operations (ie. if Close Configuration/Security Setting After Send is not selected), the Audit Trail will not show details of those operations. It will only show details of those operations if the configuration is closed and then a new copy of the configuration is received from the system.

Audit Details

When a specific access event is selected from the list, the following information is shown in the Audit Details section:

  • The Security User shows the service user name used for the access action.

  • The Date and Time of Access indicate the local system time when the recorded event occurred.

  • The PC Login is the computer name of the PC used for the access.

  • The PC IP Address and PC MAC Address are the IP address and MAC address of the PC used for access.

  • The Access Type details the type of action that was performed.

  • The Outcome shows the system's response to the access. The outcome Success (Warning) refers to the sending of a configuration that contains fields marked as errors or warnings by Manager's validation function. Success (Clean) refers to the sending of a configuration that does not contain any validation errors or warnings.

  • The IP Office Firmware indicates the IP Office Release version.

Items Changed

The Items Changed area summarizes the changes contained in a sent configuration. Where changes to a single record of a particular type are made, the Item Name field lists the individual record changed. Where changes are made to several records of the same type, the Item Name field displays Multiple items.
