Figure 53 Audit Log
The following describes each column in the Audit Log:
• Date/Time—Displays the date and time of a change on the switch.
Some actions, such as backing up configuration data and enabling automatic date/time
synchronization, are performed only by the HAFM appliance without switch interaction. These
actions are indicated by the string,
Application Interface
, following the audit log’s
stamp of the appliance’s date and time (see Figure 53 ). If the string
Application
Interface
is not displayed, the time stamp is from the switch.
• Action—Describes the user action that caused the configuration change, such as offline status,
port name change, or change of address.
• Source—Identifies the user making the change through the switch Element Manager and the IP
or DNS host name address of the remote user’s workstation.
• Maintenance Port—Change was made by a user connected to the maintenance port.
• Application Interface—Change was made by an Element Manager user.
• SNMP—Change was made by a remote SNMP management station.
• Fabric—Change was initiated by another switch in the fabric that is not managed by this
HAFM appliance.
• Embedded Web server—Change was made by a user through the EWS interface.
• Fibre Channel Host—Change was made inband by a Fibre Channel host through the Open
Systems Management Server.
