Report: Need help with creation of a report for changes in Solarwinds

I've went through the templates and didn't see anything off the bat that does this. Looking to report on changes made in Solarwinds.

- the user account in SWinds that made the change.

- date and time of the change.

- what was changed (example, the Interface FastEthernet0/1 on node CZBRNR1 was changed to custom bandwidth).

thanks!

try creating a new report and search for audit.

there should be an option for last XX audit events (avail in 11.5)

start here and get the last days worth [or however much] and filter unwanted from there.

what version are you running? should be able to do this very easily with auditing if running newer versions.

I am planning update NPM and NTA as soon as the client allows.

I'd use the method njoylif mentions. If you want to rearrange the layout of the table, another option is you can create a report with a custom table using Auditing Event as an object source.

However, filtering out audit events is a bit more complicated than using the "Last XX Audit Events" resource as you have to use the conditions in the object selection instead of just checking/unchecking the events in the resource.

THANKS! This is exactly what I am looking for. And the report edit allows you to uncheck events you do not want to see on the report (example: user login & logout lines).
