# Audit log

Use **Audit log** to review chronological activity records in Device Management.

Use it when you need to investigate:

* who performed an action
* when an event happened
* which organization or event type is involved

### Before you start

Confirm that you know:

* the approximate time range of the activity
* the organization, user, or event type you want to filter
* whether you need one event or a broader activity pattern

### Open Audit log

Go to **Verifone Central** → **Device Management** → **Reports** → **Audit Log**.

### Filter the results

Use these filters to narrow the result set.

#### Interval

Use **Interval** to limit the audit view to the time window you want.

#### Organization ID

Enter **Organization ID** when the audit search should only show events for one organization.

#### Search for user

Use **Search for user** when you need events tied to one user.

#### Event Type

Use **Event Type** when you need only one class of activity.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/TjuXGYJHpylmWqm4QKkX" alt="" width="422"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Review the output

After you apply filters, confirm that:

* the date range matches the investigation window
* the organization and user scope are correct
* the listed events match the event type you expected

If the result set is too broad, add another filter.

If the result set is empty, widen the interval or recheck the filter values.

### Result

You can narrow the audit history to the events most relevant to the issue you are investigating.

### Next steps

* [Reports](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/reports.md) — return to the reports overview
* [Device management](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/reports/device-management.md) — switch to device-focused reports

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/reports/audit-log.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
