Logs Page
The columns and content customizable through the "Customize View" (columns) and "Edit Filter" (content) links. Pre-defined filters, both built-in and custom, can be accessed by clicking the "Favorite Filters" link, and custom views can be saved by clicking the "Save Current View to Favorites" link. Finally, navigation links ("Go to Page") allow users to page through log entries.
Note: To conform with Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements, MOVEit Transfer creates an audit log record every time the audit log is viewed. A "View Audit Log" record is written when a list of log records is viewed, including every run of any report that accesses the audit log. A "View Audit Log Entry" record is written every time the details of an individual audit log record are viewed. To avoid the display of these records, use "Suppress Log Views" in the Customize View options.
Users, files, and folders that are referenced by log entries can usually be clicked on to view the information page for that item. The date/time value of each log entry can be clicked on to view the details for that particular entry. A certificate icon next to the date/time value indicates that this log entry contains client certificate information, meaning the user who did the action was signed on with a client certificate at the time. The details of the client certificate will be displayed on the log entry page.
