Setting audit logging options
With server-based management, use the Audit Logging Options feature to capture activities that
occur in the HP P6000 Command View user interface. A log file captures events generated by
these activities:
•
User login and logoff
•
User accessibility (for example, the
Access Denied
event is generated for users with view-only
access)
•
Actions that change the state of the array (for example, creating a virtual disk)
•
Actions that change the configuration of HP P6000 Command View (for example, changing
the page footer message)
You can have these events sent to one or both of the following logs and you can also specify a
directory on a remote server to store the log:
•
Audit log
•
Operating system application log
