Before you can view the audit event logs, the logs must be converted to user-readable formats. If you want to view the event logs for a specific storage virtual machine (SVM) before ONTAP automatically rotates the log, you can manually rotate the audit event logs on an SVM.
Step
-
Rotate the audit event logs by using the
vserver audit rotate-log
command.vserver audit rotate-log -vserver vs1
The audit event log is saved in the SVM audit event log directory with the format specified by the auditing configuration (
XML
orEVTX
), and can be viewed by using the appropriate application.
