Export the change log

Export change log data to a comma-separated value (.CSV) file to enable filtering, sorting, and analysis of change records outside of the system.

You can export all or a subset of the Security Cloud Control change log to a comma-separated value (.CSV) file so that you can filter and sort the information, as required.

To export the change log to a .CSV file, follow this procedure:

Procedure

Step 1

From the Security Cloud Control Home page, click Firewall.

Step 2

In the left pane, click Events & Logs > Logs > Change Log.

Step 3

Find the changes you want to export by doing one of the following tasks:

  • Use the filter (The image illustrates the process of filtering and searching within a change log to export specific changes related to selected devices.) and the search field to find what you want to export. For example, filter by device to see only the changes for your selected device or devices.

  • Clear all the filters and search criteria in the change log. This allows you to export the entire change log.

Note

Security Cloud Control retains 1 year of change log data. It is recommended to filter the change log contents and download the results to a .CSV file rather than downloading the entire change log history for a year.

Step 4

Click the export The image illustrates the process of exporting the change log, highlighting the option to clear filters and search criteria for a complete export. icon at the top right corner of the page.

Step 5

Save the .CSV file to your local file system, with a descriptive name.

The change log data is exported to a CSV file on your local system, allowing you to perform additional filtering, sorting, and analysis as needed.
