How to open the Audit Logs

Vault Admins can download the complete audit trail of the Vault. The audit log will be downloaded as a zip file, which contains two files:

  1. Audit.log: Displays all information on document level: uploads, moves, edits, deletions, permission changes. To understand better the Documents Audit Legend, visit Documents Audit Legend.
  2. RolesandUsers.log: Displays all information related to groups, roles and users. To understand better the Roles & Users Audit Legend, visit Roles & Users Audit Legend.
These files are also included in the Vault Admin Archive perspective.
