Audit log file log
Logging of auditing operations is not included in the general logging in the mtxagent.log file, it is written in its own specific log file, the mtxagent_audit.log , which is located next to the general log file in the /log directory of every client. The tab Audit Log File of the Agent Configuration > Logging node of a device displays the contents of this log file in its right window pane for inspection.
The log displays the date and time at which the action occurred, the name of the operational rule the action executed, a letter(s) that indicates of which type the explanation following is, such as ERR for error or T for trace, and so on, the ID of the thread and the description itself.
On the master it logs everything that is executed in the console therefore it can become very large, on the client it is used to log remote control sessions and direct access.
