Audit File

The name of the audit file.

It can contain placeholders, which are replaced at runtime when the audit file is created:

  • {month}
  • {mday}
  • {yday}
  • {week}
  • {source}

Always keep file open Select this checkbox to keep the audit text file open. This prevents system resources being used to constantly open and close the file. Be aware that keeping the file open will lock the file and prevent it from being edited and viewed by another method.
Use GMT/UTC Select this checkbox for greater convenience when you have a system that is spread over many different time zones.
