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.
