Viewing Audit Logs
The Audit Log provides a historical record of user actions, such as logging in to the XClarity Controller, creating a new user, and changing a user password.
You can use the audit log to track and document authentication, changes, and system actions.
Both the event log and the audit log support similar maintenance and viewing actions. To see the description of the display and filtering actions that can be performed on the Audit Log page, see Viewing Event Logs.
After running Lenovo’s tools on your server operating system, the Audit Log may contain records showing actions performed by a username (for example user “20luN4SB”) that you may not recognize. When some of the tools are run on the server operating system, they may create a temporary user account for accessing the XClarity Controller. The account is created with a random username and password and can only be used to access the XClarity Controller on the internal Ethernet over USB interface. The account can only be used to access the XClarity Controller CIM-XML and SFTP interfaces. The creation and removal of this temporary account is recorded in the audit log as well any actions performed by the tool with these credentials.
The maximum number of audit log records is 1024. When the audit logs are full, the new log entry will automatically overwrite the oldest one.
