2 Using audit logs

You can download audit log files and syslog files to Remote Web Console computer or transfer

audit log files to FTP servers or syslog servers.

Downloading audit log files

Download the audit log files to Remote Web Console computer to prevent the old data from being

overwritten. It takes from one to five minutes to download the audit log file.

WARNING! Do not download the audit log file to the Remote Web Console computer if the audit

log is set to be transferred to an FTP server. Some information may not be transferred to the FTP

server because the line counter resets when the audit log file is manually downloaded. Download

the file only when the FTP server has failed and cannot receive the audit log file. If you want to

transfer the audit log to the FTP server after downloading the log, transfer it manually. See “Manually

transferring audit log files to FTP servers” (page 28) for more information.
