Audit Trail Reports (vLog VL)

The Audit Trail Report, available in vLog VL, contains
information from the audit trail file. Audit trail files are similar
to event logs, tracking operations that users perform in vLog
so auditors can monitor changes to the vLog system. For
example, the Audit Trail Report includes the time of an event,
event type, severity, description, serial number and
description of the logger involved, and computer and user
name involved.
The Audit Trail Report is displayed in tabular format and can
be saved as a file in multiple formats (see “Saving Reports”
on page 102)
.
vLog also allows you to filter the Audit Trail Report, enabling
you to show only events from certain dates, times, performed
by certain users, or performed on certain loggers.
