Audit Events tab

The Audit Events tab displays NetBackup events according to the audit categories that you select. NetBackup records a number of events that occur while you work with the product. For example, a security certificate is issued to a host, an authorization token is deleted, connection between hosts is established and so on.

The following information is displayed on the tab:

Select Date/Time	Select the date range - From and To dates - for which you want to view audit events. Alternatively, you can select the Current Time check box instead of selecting the To date. Audit events that have occurred from the specified date until the current time are displayed.

To view additional information about a specific event, select it from the table in the report pane and double-click. The Details dialog box opens. See Audit Events Details dialog box.
