Introduction to Audit logs
Audit logs play a very important role when it comes to diagnose and track the issue related to user sessions or Accesspoint related issues.
Audit logs are in 2 modules:
1) User session
2) Access points
1) User session:
The user session contains logs for the user's session like, when a user got connected when the internet service was started, and when the user session was breached or disconnected. It also has logs related to any scheduled task run.
The data columns the User session table contains are as below:
