Viewing the detailed NetBackup audit report
You can view the actions NetBackup audits from a primary server using the NetBackup web UI. You can see full audit event details with the nbauditreport command.
To view the full audit report
- Log on to the primary server.
- Enter the following command to display the audit report in the summary format.
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbauditreport
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd\nbauditreport
Or, run the command with the following options.
-sdate
<"MM/DD/YY [HH:[MM[:SS]]]">
The start date and time of the report data you want to view.
-edate
<"MM/DD/YY [HH:[MM[:SS]]]">
The end date and time of the report data you want to view.
-ctgy category
The category of user action that was performed. Categories such as POLICY may contain several sub-categories such as schedules or backup selections. Any modifications to a sub-category are listed as a modification to the primary category.
See the NetBackup Commands Guide for -ctgy options.
-user
<username[:domainname]>
Use to indicate the name of the user for whom you'd like to display audit information.
-fmt DETAIL
The -fmt DETAIL option displays a comprehensive list of audit information. For example, when a policy is changed, this view lists the name of the attribute, the old value, and the new value. This option has the following sub-options:
[-notruncate] . Display the old and new values of a changed attribute on separate lines in the details section of the report.
[-pagewidth <NNN>] . Set the page width for the details section of the report.
-fmt PARSABLE
The -fmt PARSABLE option displays the same set of information as the DETAIL report but in a parsable format. The report uses the pipe character (|) as the parsing token between the audit report data. This option has the following sub-options:
[-order <DTU|DUT|TDU|TUD|UDT|UTD>]. Indicate the order in which the information appears.
D (Description)
T (Timestamp)
U (User)
- The audit report contains the following details:
DESCRIPTION
