When you make API requests to test configuration of API gateways, API Services, and resource operations, you can review runtime activity logs to ensure components are working correctly and to diagnose configuration problems. You can also check HTTP Access Policy management logs to review the status of actions performed on API Services.

  1. In PingOne, go to Monitoring > Audit.
  2. Run an audit report to show HTTP Access Policy events:
    1. For Filter Type, select Event Type.
    2. For Filter, select the following options:
      • HTTP Request Policy Evaluated
      • HTTP Response Policy Evaluated
    3. Click Run.
  3. In the Activities table, in the Details column, click View to examine details for HTTP Access Policy events.
