Audit log export

This feature is accessed only through the command line. Functionality is exposed through the Cloverleaf API.

For security, you must have a cl-aom-sec-advanced key to export the audit log. This tool is licensed with the security server component. Because the audit log is encrypted and can only be viewed through the Audit Log Viewer, the Audit Log Export tool can export the encrypted audit log to a flat-file CSV format. Message content can be optionally exported encoded in base-64.

This tool can export all audit log data, include any message content, and can export audit log entries in a specified date range.

Example: Exporting the audit log

To export the Cloverleaf audit log for the previous day to an external system, write a batch file that calls the export_audit_log function with the beginning and end dates equal to the previous day. After this, you can schedule the job to run after midnight, or any other time, using the operating system scheduler.

Example: Exporting the audit log and message data

To export the Cloverleaf audit log and messages from the previous day to an external system, write a batch file that calls the export_audit_log function with the beginning and end dates equal to the previous day. You can also write a switch to export the message data encoded in base-64. After this, you can schedule the job to run after midnight, or any other time, using the operating system scheduler.
