Audit Review

Audit review allows you to look at the audit logs in a human-readable form. LogPoint generates various audit logs related to different events for security purposes. However, only authorized users can access audit logs.

LogPoint starts the audit functions by default, and it cannot be disabled.

Following is the list of audit events:

  • User management
    • LogPoint generates audit logs when you add, edit, or delete users, user groups, and permissions.

    -label=LPSearch label=LogPoint label=User or (label=User label=Management) object=*
    | latest by object, action | fields log_ts, user, object, type, action, source_address
