On the Directory Server Console, select the Status tab. Then, in the navigation
tree, expand the Logs folder and select the Audit Log icon.
A table displays a list of the last 25 entries in the audit log.
2.
To refresh the current display, click Refresh. Select the Continuous checkbox if
you want the display to refresh automatically every ten seconds.
3.
To view an archived audit log, select it from the Select Log pull-down menu.

To display a different number of messages, enter the number you want to view
in the “Lines to show” text box and click Refresh.

You can display messages containing a string you specify. To do this, enter the
string in the “Show only lines containing” text box and click Refresh.
Configuring the Audit Log
You can use the Directory Server Console to enable and disable audit logging and
to specify where the audit log file is stored.
