OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Understanding System Audit Trails

ENVIRONMENT

  • Empower
  • Empower Tip of the Week #368

PROCEDURE

There are many Audit Trails in Empower. Users periodically review these Audit Trails. This Tip explains the array of information found in each audit trail. 
We start with the System Audit Trail which keeps track of system-level activities such as logging on/off and creating/ modifying/ deleting any system-level objects such as Projects, Systems, Users, and so forth.

Note: View System Audit Trails privilege is required to view this audit trail.

STEP 1
Go to Configuration Manager and click on System Audit Trail in the tree on the left. The default view displays the action and details.

STEP 2
Scrolling further to the right in the table, you’ll see the date/time stamp and who performed the action.

We can create Custom View Filters to look for specific activities. Click on the Edit View button in the toolbar to open the View Filter Editor.

STEP 7
You can create a View Filter with two conditions on 1 row which creates an “And” statement. In this example, we created a View Filter to determine when a User named ‘George’ logged on to Empower.
