Audit and Security Logs
This section describes how to configure, display, and clear audit and security logs.
The following is the configuration task list for audit and security logs:
• Enabling Audit and Security Logs
• Displaying Audit and Security Logs
• Clearing Audit Logs
Enabling Audit and Security Logs
You enable audit and security logs to monitor configuration changes or determine if these changes affect the operation of the
system in the network. You log audit and security events to a system log server, using the logging extended command in
CONFIGURATION mode.
This command is available with or without RBAC enabled. For information about RBAC, see Role-Based Access Control.
Audit Logs
The audit log contains configuration events and information. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• User logins to the switch.
• System events for network issues or system issues.
• Users making configuration changes. The switch logs who made the configuration changes and the date and time of the
change. However, each specific change on the configuration is not logged. Only that the configuration was modified is
logged with the user ID, date, and time of the change.
• Uncontrolled shutdown.
Security Logs
The security log contains security events and information. RBAC restricts access to audit and security logs based on the CLI
sessions’ user roles. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• Establishment of secure traffic flows, such as SSH.
• Violations on secure flows or certificate issues.
• Adding and deleting of users.
• User access and configuration changes to the security and crypto parameters (not the key information but the crypto
configuration)
