The audit log provides a record of all user actions on the Ops Center Automator server. The audit log tracks events from several categories such as external services, authentication, configuration access, and start and stop services. By examining the audit log, you can check the system usage status or audit for unauthorized access.
For Windows, the audit log data is output to the event log files (application log files). For Linux, the data is output to the syslog file.
