# Audit log
Filter and review chronological activity records in Device Management.
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.
Apply the least-specific filter first. Add filters until the results answer your question.
Use this order:
1. Set **Interval** to the investigation window.
2. Add **Organization ID** when the activity belongs to one organization.
3. Add **Search for user** or **Event Type** to isolate the event.
#### 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.
### 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.
### Preserve investigation context
Record the interval and filter values before sharing findings. This lets another reviewer reproduce the result set.
Do not draw conclusions from an event without confirming its organization, user, and event type.
### Result
You can narrow the audit history to a reproducible set of relevant events.
### Next steps
* [Reports](https://verifone.gitbook.io/us-core-help-center/verifone-central/verifone-central/reports) — return to the reports overview
* [Device management](https://verifone.gitbook.io/us-core-help-center/verifone-central/verifone-central/reports/device-management) — switch to device-focused reports

# Agent Instructions
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 by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/verifone-central-getting-started/verifone-central/verifone-central-device-manager/reports/audit-log.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
