Auditing and tracing
The OneSpan Authentication Server audit system enables you to audit the operations that OneSpan Authentication Server performs and provides high-level details about these operations. The audit system consists of a number of auditing modules that save audit messages to a specific format (e.g. text file or database), and the Audit Viewer application, which can open, display, and filter audit messages from various sources.

Audit messages are primarily generated by OneSpan Authentication Server and include RADIUS accounting data. These messages may be recorded by a number of different methods:
- Windows Event Log (to be viewed in the Event Viewer)
- Syslog (in Linux environments)
- Text file
- ODBC-compliant database
Live auditing allows to capture and pass audit messages directly to the Audit Viewer application as a live feed.
The auditing output from OneSpan Authentication Server can be configured using the Configuration Utility. For more information, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Administrator Reference, Section "Configuration".
