Build and edit an Audit log report
Use the Audit log report category to save time building audit reports without going through each record individually.
Note
Reports are only stored for 90 days. If you want permanent access to a report, you must download it or run the report again.
Building your report can take more than an hour depending on its size. The report will continue to build if you leave the page or log out of CertCentral. You will receive an email notification once it’s available.
Build an Audit log report
In your CertCentral account’s sidebar menu, click Reports > Build a report.
Select Audit log from the reports category list and click Next.
From the Specify audit log date range dropdown, select the time frame you want your report to cover.
Note
When choosing the Custom date option, use the arrows to navigate the months and years you want to include. Then select the days you want included.
In the Choose sources section, you can also choose what sub-accounts to include, or to exclude them. Click Next.
To add or remove columns from your report, toggle each check box for the information you want to include. Otherwise, click Log information to include all columns.
Set column order shows the order that the columns will be listed in your report. If you want to reorder your columns, drag and drop them to your preferred placement. You can also click Order alphabetically to alphabetize them.
Once you have selected your report criteria, click Next.
Now schedule how you want to run your report:
By default, Once is selected. This does not set a schedule, but you will be able to manually run it again when you need to do so, from the main Report library page.
To set a schedule, choose a Weekly or Monthly schedule. Set the day of the week and when you want the last report to run. With this setting, your report does not run immediately, only on the day selected.
In Notify additional users, add other administrators you want to notify when the report is ready for download.
Choose your report's file format, then enter a Report name.
When you are done, click Build report.
Once your report is available, its status changes from Generating to Ready.
Click Download on any ready report to download it.
