  • Changed by: The user associated with the event.

The Audit screen is a read-only screen. Permission to view the audit data can be configured via Roles. When creating a role, select the View Audit Data option to allow users with that role to view the Audit link.

At least one administrator must be configured to receive notifications and alerts. Audit data is retained for 90 days by default. Email and the retention interval are configured via System Configuration.

Additional information

  • Honeywell recommends opening the VoiceConsole application using the IP address so that the Source IP column populates correctly.
  • The Source IP column may show an IPv6 format depending on client machine configuration and HTTPS environment.
  • If user information is not available, the Changed by column is populated with "System". This normally occurs when Schedulers run.
  • System-related audit events are identified by "System" in the Site column.
