Audit log

The audit log contains administrative audit messages, which are generated in response to operations performed by the SAN File System administrative server. The log does not capture every administrative operation. Instead, it records all commands that modify metadata or cluster configuration and significant operations, including commands that would have made a change but failed to do so. The log also keeps a record of the user ID issuing the command, along with the time stamp and completion status of the requested operation. The log does not keep a record of simple query operations; such operations do not alter metadata, and because they are likely to be more numerous than those that do, their presence could easily overwhelm logging and interpretation of more meaningful operations.

You can use information in the audit log to help convert requests made from the SAN File System console into equivalent command line interface instructions or to perform troubleshooting in the case of a failure within SAN File System.
