# Download audit logs

The audit log shows the security administrator what security-related actions took place.

You can download log files and other information for your authorized support representative to use to diagnose and troubleshoot an appliance.

Prerequisites

- Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator

Downloading audit logs

1. From the main menu, select Settings.

2. Click Security.

3. Select Actions→Download audit logs.

4. The appliance generates a compressed file of the audit logs and downloads it to your local computer.

   The compressed file is named following this format:

       audit-logs-

       yyyy_mm_dd-hh_mm_ss

   ``yyyy_mm_dd`` indicates the date, and ``hh_mm_ss`` indicates the time the file was created. The name of the audit log file is displayed on the screen.

   The audit log file is downloaded to the default download folder. If no default download folder is configured in your browser, you are prompted to specify a destination file.

5. Verify the log was downloaded to the correct folder.
