Contributed by:

The Audit Log report logs XenServer events, event objects, and actions. These actions include import/export, host and pool backups, and guest and host console access. The following table defines some of the typical events that appear frequently in the XenServer Audit Log and Pool Audit Trail report. The table also specifies the granularity of these events.

In the Pool Audit Trail report, the events listed in the Event Action column apply to a pool, VM, or host. To determine what the events apply to, see the Event Object and Object Name columns in the report. For extra event definitions, see the Management API. To know more about the Pool Audit Trail granularity settings, see Advanced Settings.
