Audit and Security Logs
This section describes how to configure, display, and clear audit and security logs.
The following is the configuration task list for audit and security logs:
• Enabling Audit and Security Logs
• Displaying Audit and Security Logs
• Clearing Audit Logs
Enabling Audit and Security Logs
You enable audit and security logs to monitor configuration changes or determine if these changes affect the operation of the system in
the network. You log audit and security events to a system log server, using the logging extended command in CONFIGURATION
mode.
Audit Logs
The audit log contains configuration events and information. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• User logins to the switch.
• System events for network issues or system issues.
• Users making configuration changes. The switch logs who made the configuration changes and the date and time of the
change. However, each specific change on the configuration is not logged. Only that the configuration was modified is logged with the
user ID, date, and time of the change.
• Uncontrolled shutdown.
Security Logs
The security log contains security events and information. RBAC restricts access to audit and security logs based on the CLI sessions’ user
roles. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• Establishment of secure traffic flows, such as SSH.
• Violations on secure flows or certificate issues.
• Adding and deleting of users.
