Auditing

Auditing

Auditing in CygNet consists of recording changes made by users to services or records in a format that facilitates periodic review. Actions such as starting or stopping a service with the RSM, updating or deleting a value in the VHS, and issuing a UIS command or setpoint can be audited.

The Audit Service (AUD) tracks and stores all changes, such as what was changed, when it was changed, and the individual who made the change, known as the audit record. It logs operator actions and configuration changes, as defined for various services. The level of detail contained in an audit record is based on the service’s auditing configuration. The Audit Service does not audit itself.

Auditable actions include starting or stopping a service through the RSM, updating or deleting values in the VHS, setpoint changes, point configuration changes, etc.

Changes made to service databases through ODBC are audited at the level defined by the service’s configuration file. Note that ODBC changes to the Group service (GRP) are not audited.

Audit records can be viewed using CygNet Explorer, from an Event Summary Control in an application such as CygNet Studio, or via the Audit History button located in some service records.

The Audit Service (AUD), the Event Logging Services (ELS/ELSALM), and the Note Service (NOTE) cannot be audited.

See Audit Service (AUD) for more information.
