You can collect the audit log details from swagger rest APIs as well as the SCV plugin user interface.

Given below are the swagger rest APIs:

  1. GET 4.1/audit/logs: Get audit data for all logs

  2. GET 4.1/audit/logs/{filename}: Get audit data for a specific log file

  3. POST 4.1/audit/verify: Trigger audit log verification.

  4. GET 4.1/audit/config: Get the audit and syslog server config

  5. PUT 4.1/audit/config: Update the audit and syslog server config

To generate audit logs for VMware vSphere client jobs using the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere REST APIs, you must use the REST API calls for VMware vSphere.

For each REST API, add https://<server>:<port>/api at the front of the REST API to form a complete endpoint.

Use the following REST APIs in the Jobs section to get detailed information on jobs:
