Audit and Security Logs
This section describes how to configure, display, and clear audit and security logs.
The following is the configuration task list for audit and security logs:
• Enabling Audit and Security Logs
• Displaying Audit and Security Logs
• Clearing Audit Logs
Enabling Audit and Security Logs
You enable audit and security logs to monitor configuration changes or determine if these changes affect
the operation of the system in the network. You log audit and security events to a system log server,
using the logging extended command in CONFIGURATION mode.
Audit Logs
The audit log contains configuration events and information. The types of information in this log consist
of the following:
• User logins to the switch.
• System events for network issues or system issues.
• Users making configuration changes. The switch logs who made the configuration changes and the
date and time of the change. However, each specific change on the configuration is not logged. Only
that the configuration was modified is logged with the user ID, date, and time of the change.
• Uncontrolled shutdown.
