Introduction

Audit events are the changes captured by agents, reported to a coordinator, and then written to the database. These events can be retrieved and viewed through searches. When you run a search, Change Auditor searches the events in the database for the desired results. The results are then displayed in the Search Results page.

The terms ‘searches’ and ‘reports’ are used in conjunction to acquire the desired output. You run a 'search' and the results returned is a ‘report’.

Auditing and centralizing the collection of events is only one part of the total control and output required for enterprise security and compliance. It is equally important to be able to retrieve the real-time data and sort through it quickly and efficiently.

 

Search Results page

A new results page is created whenever a search is run. When a search is run, this page displays detailed information about the events found as a result of the search. This page consists of the following panes:

•
Search Results grid
•
Search Properties tabs or Event Details pane

Search Results grid

The Search Results grid displays the events captured as a result of running a search from the Searches page. The top area of the grid displays the following information:

Run on
Displays the date and time when the search was run.
* 
NOTE: Based on the client’s current local date and time. The format used to display this date and time is determined by the local machine’s regional and language setting.
Run Time
Displays the amount of time it took to run the search.
Records
Displays the total number of records returned.
Refresh
Use the Refresh button to redisplay the latest information.
Cancel
When a large number of records are being captured for display, the Refresh button will become a Cancel button allowing you to cancel the search.
 

By default, the grid contains the following information about the events returned when a search is run. (You can specify the columns, sort order and grouping for a search, as well as the display format by using the Layout search properties tab.)
