Exporting the Audit Log

You can export the audit log in CSV (comma-separated value) or XML format. Cryptographic Security Platform Vault stores the audit log until you can download it.

CSV Format

To download the entire audit log or selected audit log rows in CSV (comma-separated value) format:

1. If you want to download a subset of audit log messages, select the appropriate rows. If you have filtered the list, you can export just the filtered items without selecting them first.

2. Select Actions > Export.
3. Select CSV in the Format Type drop-down list.

4. In the Which Rows? drop-down list, select:

   All Loaded—Downloads the audit log messages that match the selected filters, if any. If there are no filters, this option downloads all audit log messages.

   Selected—Downloads just those audit log messages selected in the webGUI using the Multi-Select option.

5. In the Which Columns? drop-down list, select All.

6. Click Generate.

   Cryptographic Security Platform Vault generates a file called htdc-auditlog-datetimestamp.csv. The datetimestamp is in the format month, day, year, hour, minute, seconds, AM/PM. For example, htdc-auditlog-4-6-2017--11_41_49-AM.csv.

7. After the audit log has finished generating, click Download.

XML Format

1. Select Actions > Export.

2. Select XML in the Format Type drop-down list.

3. Click Generate.

   Cryptographic Security Platform Vault generates a file called htdc-auditlog-datetimestamp.xml. The datetimestamp is in the format month, day, year, hour, minute, seconds, AM/PM. For example, htdc-auditlog-4-6-2017--11_41_49-AM.xml.

4. After the audit log has finished generating, click Download.
