Audit Log
Overview
With TCP/IP and HTTP-based processes running on the device, exposure to access attacks,
eavesdropping, file tampering, service disruption, and identity (password) theft is significantly increased.
The Audit Log, regularly reviewed by the Security Administrator, often with the aid of third party analyzing
tools, helps to assess attempted security breaches, identify actual breaches, and prevent future breaches.
The Audit Log is enabled or disabled from the Audit Log hot link on the Properties tab of Internet
Services, accessed from a networked workstation running a web browser. To enable Internet Services, if
necessary, refer to the Enable Internet Services topic in the Network Connectivity section of this guide.
Access to logged data is also accomplished from the Audit Log hot link on the Properties tab of Internet
Services, but additionally requires the enabling of SSL/TLS encryption. To enable this encryption, refer to
the Security – SSL/TLS Encryption topic in the Options section of this guide.
Events tracked in the Audit Log, include: Starting and Stopping of the device, Login/Logout events,
Changes to system settings, and job completions.
