Configuring the audit log

When managing SANs, you may want to filter, or audit certain classes of events to ensure that you can
view and generate an audit log for what is happening on a switch, particularly for security-related event
changes if you are running a Fabric OS version earlier than 6.x. These events include login failures, zone
configuration changes, firmware downloads, and other configuration changes—in other words—critical
changes that have a serious effect on the operation and security of the switch.
Important information related to event classes is also tracked and made available. For example, you can
track changes from an external source by the user name, IP address, or type of management interface used
to access the switch.
Auditable events are generated by the switch and streamed to an external host through a configured
system message log daemon (syslog). You specify a filter on the output to select the event classes that are
sent through the system message log. The filtered events are streamed chronologically and sent to the
