Displaying an audit log
You can create and view a custom audit log.
How to display an audit log
1 Log in to your database.
2 In the Navigation Pane, choose DataAudit.
3 No audit data is displayed initially in the Audit tab in the main window. To view all of the audit log entries, choose Refresh. Metrics Management displays every audit log record.
The date and time that Metrics Management displays in the audit log may appear to be incorrect because the time does not match your server’s clock. However, all time values are stored in Universal Time Conversion (UTC) format, a 24-hour clock that is not specific to a particular time zone. UTC is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
4 You may want to restrict your review to only specific types of audit log records. For example:
*To view or export audit log entries that relate only to the Metrics Management Classic Web Client, under Modules clear the All modules check box, and select the Metrics Management Classic Web Client check box. Choose Refresh.
*To view or export only audit log entries where the subject is System, under Subjects clear the All subjects check box, and select the System check box. Choose Refresh.
*To view only audit log entries created by the CFO, under Users, clear the All users check box, and select the CFO check box. Choose Refresh.
*To view only delete actions, under Actions clear the All actions check box, and select the Delete check box. Choose Refresh.
You can quickly create very detailed reports by specifying specific modules, subjects, users, objects, actions, and date ranges.
5 You can review your logs on the screen or export the data to an XML or CSV file. You can use the data to create a report for presentation or to analyze the audit log report.
