HP 3PAR Policy Server 6-7
Monitoring System Activity
The Policy Server application provides the Audit Log tab to help you monitor the activity in the system. The
Audit Log tab shows all activity generated by Policy Server as well as activity reported in XML messages
from the Agents. You can view all audit log entries, entries in a selected category, or entries for a selected
asset group. You can also change the number of days that Policy Server keeps audit log files. The Audit Log
screen is not editable. The only privilege for this component is View. If you do not have this privilege, the
screen is not visible.
An Audit Log entry generated by Policy Server includes the name of the Policy Server user, the time the
user performed the audited activity, and a detailed description of the action (Message). For details about this
page, refer to the online help. The following figure shows an example of the Audit Log tab with all logs
displayed:
