Admin auditing
The Admin Auditing log tracks all changes made to an item in the system. Users with Admin Auditing permissions will see a change in the Admin Auditing log whenever data is added, modified, or deleted. Users can see what was changed, when the change was made, and who made the change.
Changes made to Hosts, Users, or Adapters are not displayed in the Admin Auditing Log on the FortiNAC Control Manager. These changes are visible in the Admin Audit Log on each server.
Changes can be filtered by the name of the item that was changed, the action taken, the date when the change occurred, the user ID for the user who made the change, and the type of item that was changed.
Similar to Events and Alarms, Admin Auditing archives and purges audits made to Hosts, Users, or Elements.
