Change Auditor for VMWare 7.1.1 - User Guide

Make changes and run a report

1
To test VMware auditing, make some changes to the host being monitored.
For example:
•
start and stop a virtual computer
•
create a new virtual computer
2
Select Start | All Programs | Quest | Change Auditor | Change Auditor Client to review the events generated.
3
Open the Searches tab.
4
Expand the Shared | Built-in | VMware folder in the left pane.
5
Locate and double-click All VMware Events in the last 7 days.
A new Search Results tab is added to the client displaying the events that were captured.
6
Double-click an event from the Search Results grid to display the event details for the selected event.

Troubleshooting

If the VMware events do not appear as expected, check the following:

•
Verify that the auditing template is applied. To ensure events are being captured, check to see if the Change Auditor agent assigned to the VMware Auditing template is using the latest agent configuration.
* 
NOTE:  
To verify that latest agent configuration is being used:
1
Click Start | All Programs | Quest | Change Auditor | Change Auditor Client.
2
Open the Administration Tasks tab (View | Administration menu command).
3
If not already selected, click Configuration.
4
Select Agent in the Configuration task list to open the Agent Configuration page.
5
Select the agent assigned to the VMware Auditing template (Auditing appears in the VMware column) and click Refresh Configuration.
•
Restart the agent.
•
Ensure that if you add multiple computers (such as vCenter Servers and/or ESX hosts) to a single auditing template, all of these machines are using the same credentials. (To audit computers that use different credentials, you must create a VMware Auditing template for each.)
