The audit log files contain records of the operations performed on the storage system, including the user who performed the operation and the date and time, as well as the storage system behaviors resulting from the operations. For storage systems with an SVP, the audit log files are stored in the SVP or in the storage system depending on the type of log. For storage systems without an SVP, the audit log files are stored in the storage system. To access the collected log files, you must configure the storage system to transfer the log files to the syslog server and export an audit log file before you can view an audit log for the storage system.
