Viewing the audit database entries using the OData web service

In Enterprise Vault 12.4 and later, you can retrieve information from the Enterprise Vault auditing database through the Open Data (OData) web service. You can use this information with any OData-compatible reporting tool to create reports as required. Examples of such reporting tools include Excel/PowerQuery and Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

You can access the auditing information by typing the following addresses in the address bar of your web browser. In each case, EVServer is the name of the server on which you have installed the Enterprise Vault server software.

To access a list of all the available auditing endpoints, type the following:
