Auditing Report Configuration
ObserveIT enables you to generate reports that provide summary audit log information about user logins, sessions, and saved sessions, in which console users were active on monitored Windows, Mac, or Unix-based endpoints. For example, if an Agent's recording was turned off or changes were made in a Recording Policy configuration, you can report on exactly who did this, and when it happened. These reports are valuable for security auditing and change management.
This topic describes the metadata that you can select to be included in reports based on audit log information (see Report Types). These reports can be generated for Windows, Mac, or Unix-based endpoints.
For detailed instructions on the steps required to create a report, see Creating a Custom Report.
You can generate reports on the following types of information:
-
Audit Logins: Logins to the Web console
-
Audit Sessions: Recorded sessions playback
-
Audit Saved Sessions: Recorded sessions that were exported
