Audit Logs

Prerequisites

User Role:

Super-admin

Audit Logs is the Management table that shows the most recent lines of tiCrypt's audit log: the lines the logger service has not yet rotated into its archive. Each line records one action, such as a login, a file operation, a VM event or an administrative change. Audit Logs is not the full audit history: older, rotated lines are not shown here, and searching the whole history is the job of the separately deployed tiCrypt Audit platform.

The following table describes the columns of the Audit Logs table.

Column	Description
Seq	A row number the table assigns when it loads the lines. It is not stored in the log.
Type	The kind of log record.
Timestamp	When the action happened.
Arg 1 to Arg 20	The fields of the record, in the order the log stores them. Their meaning depends on the Type.

You can filter the Type and Arg columns by text. The Timestamp column has no filter, and the table has no user or time-range filter. Rows have no actions and no detail pane.
