Audit section

The Audit section allows you to view all the changes made to the nevisDetect system.

The Audit section contains one screen: Audit log.

Audit log​

The Audit log screen shows all changes made to the application settings. You can use this screen to review the changes in the application settings, or to find out why the system does not behave correctly.

Audit log screen

The Audit log screen consists of several parts (see the figure above - the numbers in the figure correspond with the numbers below).

  1. You can filter the audit logs either by login ID, time range or revision type (MOD: modification, DEL: deletion, ADD: creation, ALL: all).
    1. Click Filter to show the list of audits that fulfill the filter criteria.
  2. The results are shown in a table and ordered by modification date (descending). The tabs on top of the table represent the categories of audit log entries. For an overview of all tabs, see Available log entries. Which results you see in the table depends on the tab you select.
  • The first columns of each log entry show data that is specific for this tab. For example, the previous figure shows the log entries for the Frameworktab. Here, the first columns describe modifications in the operation and communication modes.
  • The last three columns are always the same for each log entry, independent of the selected tab:
    1. Revision type of the entry: MOD for modification, DEL for deletion and ADD for creation.
    2. Date: The date of the change.
    3. User name: The user who made the change. This can also be a technical user.

The following categories of log entries, or tabs, are available:

  • Framework: Contains the changes of the general application settings such as operation mode, communication mode or the normalization algorithm.
