Netbackup nbauditreport

[H_Sharma]

Hello Experts,

I want to know about the switch  AUDITCFG i.e auditing configuration changes.

Is there any option so that i could know the changes made on host properties on Nbu console:- Master server:- Properties?

Thanks,

Use the command :  nbauditreport -fmt DETAIL -ctgy AUDITCFG

-fmt DETAILS will show old/new values

You are posting so many times per day that I wonder if you have the time to read through all the answers.

In this discussion:
Netbackup Policy Change 
I have provided links to the nbaudit documentation.

Have you actually gone through those links?
Like this one?

Mmmm... wondering if this question:

Is there any option so that i could know the changes made on host properties ...?

has anything to do with this post? Netbackup Services. 

It seems you are the one making changes?

Hi Marianne,

It says,

Auditing host property changes

NetBackup audits host property changes if the administrator uses either the bpsetconfig or the nbsetconfig commands, or the equivalent property in the Host Properties utility.

as we are not chaning it via commands and are making changes in GUI only host properties. So is there any hope?

Also i could see we dont have license for NBAC in nbu and option is greyed out. PFA.

is there any other option ?

...  i could see we dont have license for NBAC ....

NBAC is not a licensed option. It just needs to be configured. 

Let us have another look at your quotation from the documentation:

NetBackup audits host property changes if the administrator uses either the bpsetconfig or the nbsetconfig commands, or the equivalent property in the Host Properties utility.

So host property changes are logged by nbaudit in 3 ways:

bpsetconfig
nbsetconfig 
Host Properties 

This is easy enough to check - next time you make a change, check afterwards with nbauditreport.
