# Audit log

This appendix details audit log entries in the `audit.log` file.

The following table shows the four components of entries in the audit log files.

| Date                  | Subject                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               | Action                        | Resources                                                 |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss` | Subject is the module through which actions are performed: command-line interface (CLI), REST application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">&#xA;\<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>&#xA;\</div>)*, or cluster | Actions are the ran commands. | Resources are the parameters associated with the actions. |

The following table shows the subjects and their description.

| Subject    | Description                                               |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `cli`      | CLI commands ran                                          |
| `rest_api` | REST API requests received by API Security Enforcer (ASE) |
| `cluster`  | Changes requested by peer node in a cluster               |

Here is sample output of an audit log file:

```
2019-06-13 10:45:12 | cli | delete_api | username=admin, api_id=cart
2019-06-13 10:46:13 | rest_api | GET /v4/ase/cluster | x-ase-access-key=admin, x-ase-secret-key=
2019-06-13 10:46:25 | cluster | delete_api | peer_node=192.168.11.108:8020, api_id=shop
```

## CLI

The following table lists the actions and resources for ASE CLI.
