Viewing Audit-Log Results

When you use Audit-Log policies to test policies that you plan to deploy, the test results are written to a content.log file. The default location is as follows:

# /var/log/zixvpm/content.log

Both Audit logs and Log logs are written to the content.log file as XML fragments. The log entry is distinguished by the label <AuditEntry> or <LogEntry> and contains the following:

The message content is not captured.

Examples:

You can use the information from the Audit logs and Log logs in other applications to analyze your test results.
