Audit Events Table

Overview

The Audit Events report provides a table view of all Automate Enterprise audit-related events. It tracks the user who performed each event as well as the event date, type and status. You can sort, filter, and analyze this data to determine who has done what with regards to agents, workflows and individual workflow objects. For example, you can determine who created a specific workflow or renamed a certain task. The Audit Events report also tracks security related events such as permission changes on automation objects and user login/session information (i.e. session timeout, failed attempts to open a session, user lock out, etc.). Some common events available for audit log reports include:

• Creation - Reports which workflows or workflow objects have been created, which agents have been registered/deployed.
• Deletion - Reports which workflows, workflow objects, agents or users have been deleted.
• Connection - Reports which agents established connection with the server and which users/groups logged onto Server Management Console.  
• Object modification - Reports changes to objects, such as deletion of a workflow, renaming an event or condition, modification of task steps, and disabling/re-enabling objects.
• Security settings - Reports user/group events and changes to security settings, such as modifications to user accounts and permissions. Also tracks addition or removal of licenses.
• Import/Export - Reports all import and export operations. Also tracks objects that have been moved and copied to other locations in the repository.

The Audit Events report is ideal from a project management standpoint because it helps administrators easily track the condition and progress of team projects or individual assignments by monitoring all aspects of task and workflow creation, development and modification. This can aid team members as well by allowing everyone on the team to view what projects others on the team are responsible for as well as the status of those projects. This report supports exporting to multiple document types, column filtering, data grouping, sorting, filtering and more.
