Viewing events and logs in the console

Veritas Resiliency Platform maintains the following types of logs that can be viewed using the web console:

System logs: System logs are typically the result of a user performing an operation in the console.

Audit logs: Audit logs are primarily used for security audits. They leave a chronological trail of activities performed on the system. They identify user, activity, affected objects, etc. They help track the individuals responsible for activities and detect security violations.

Event and notification logs: Event and notification logs are not necessarily related to user activity; they can include information such as a server going down. Events can be public or private. Rules can be configured to notify users by email of selected public events. Private events are typically unrelated to user-initiated operations. Private events are displayed in the console for troubleshooting but are not available to include in rules for notification.

See Setting up rules for event notifications.

By default, logs and SNMP traps are retained for 2 years. This retention period can be modified in the product settings in the console.

See Modifying the purge setting for logs and SNMP traps.
