Creating an audit log report

You can take the audit log that you have open, and convert it into a report. The database audit log can be printed, or exported into a file format for your records.

About this task

Depending on the type of audit log that you have open, and the information that you are interested in, the audit log report will display different information.

Procedure

To create an audit report:

  1. In the Audit Viewer, open an audit log and filter the log using the Selection Criteria and Actions to determine the contents of interest. If you regularly filter your audit information in the same way, you can save the filtering options as a Filter, that can be applied in later sessions.

  2. To generate the report, click Action > Report.

  3. With the report open, you can use the options in the toolbar to:

    • Refresh - check for new actions.

    • Print - send the report to a printer.

    • Export - save the report as a file compatible with Microsoft Excel (*.xlsx), Microsoft Word (*.docx), or a PDF document.
