Uptime Infrastructure Monitor can record changes to the application's configuration in an audit log. The details of the configuration changes are saved in the file audit.log
, found in the /logs
directory.
There are many uses for the audit log. For example, you can use the audit log track changes to your Uptime Infrastructure Monitor environment for compliance with your security or local policies. You can also use the audit log to debug problems that were introduced into your Uptime Infrastructure Monitor installation by a specific configuration change; the audit log enables you to determine who made the change and when it took effect.
The following is an example of an audit log entry:
2010-02-23 12:28:20,082 - dchiang: ADDSYSTEM [cfgcheck=true, port=9998, number=1, use-ssl=false, systemType=1, hostname=10.1.1.241, displayName=MailMain, systemSystemGroup=1, serviceGroup=, description=, systemSubtype=1] |
By default, the audit log is disabled. To enable it, edit the uptime.conf
file, which is located at the root of the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor installation directory:
/usr/local/uptime/
on Linux C:\Program Files\uptime software\uptime
on WindowsIn the uptime.conf
file, locate the "auditEnabled=
" entry and modify it to be "auditEnabled=yes
" (or add it, if it does not exist).
