Audit Logs

By default, the Server is automatically configured to generate audit logs. With this option activated, the Server logs audit events for projects in the server configuration database. For example, the log records when change requests are created, and when a file is added. The audit log entries can be viewed from a client by selecting the Audit tab in the upper pane. This operation can be performed only on a server configuration that is running.

A chronological record, the Audit log accumulates data about the actions performed on folders, files, requirements, change requests, tasks, and topics. Each log entry shows the user who carried out the action, the date and time the action was performed, the class name (type of item), the event (type of action), the view name, and the project name. By using filters or queries, you can locate all the entries for a particular item.

For most items, events may be added, branched, commented, created, deleted, modified, moved from, moved to, and shared. For files, events may also include converted, edited, item overwritten, locked, lock broken, and unlocked. Log entries themselves cannot be moved, shared, modified, or branched. If the Audit tab of the main window displays no entries, your administrator has probably disabled the Audit log function.
