Audit Events tab

The Audit Events tab displays NetBackup events according to the audit categories that you select. NetBackup records a number of events that occur while you work with the product. For example, a security certificate is issued to a host, an authorization token is deleted, connection between hosts is established and so on.

The following information is displayed on the tab:
