View auditing information

Audit logs have records with certain information for a specific duration such as user details, operations, and actions performed. You can view syslog messages for the following example scenarios:

  • If your NetScaler Console is a HA pair and if there is any latency issue in the database replication between the primary and secondary nodes, you can view details as an event.

  • If there are any invalid login attempts (user name or password error) or successful logins, you can view details as an event.

As an administrator, you can use these logs for maintaining security and for recovering lost transactions.
