Consuming Audit Data

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Users with appropriate access can review your audit data in one of three ways:

• Create visuals and a dedicated dashboard using Symphony.
• Direct database queries using any third-party tool.
• Add the user auditing database as a source and connection, then export the information using the Symphony API.

Consume Audit Data Using Symphony

Use Symphony to create a User Auditing dashboard.

1. Create a connection to your user auditing database.
2. Create a source from this connection.
3. Create a dashboard for User Auditing with visuals as needed.

If you use a table visualization for user auditing data, add cross-visual filters such as List Filters and Tree Maps for a contextual look at your data.

Consume Audit Data Using Third-Party Tools

You can use any third-party tools you prefer to access the information for user auditing. Access to the tool or to the database using that tool should be restricted to appropriate users.
