Step 5. Export audit logs

You can download the audit logs to your workstation as an Excel worksheet (.xlsx) by clicking the Export button. Next, you will need to select a specific time range for the export. Please note that if any filters have been applied, only the filtered entries will be included in the download. For example, if you filter the audit logs by the search term 'device' and define a time range from November 1 to November 21, 2024, only audit log entries matching the search term 'device' within that date range will be downloaded. The Excel worksheet will be saved in your Downloads folder.
