Audit trail

Overview

To trace relevant activities in your Appliances (accesses, configuration modifications, starts, stops, etc), Nexthink components write to the audit log file:

/var/log/nexthink/audit.log

Find below the complete list of audit events. In the tables, the words displayed in italics in the log messages are replaced by actual values by the log system. For example, the actual username of the account that performed a particular logged action will replace the word account.
