Track PI AF changes with audit trail

If the audit trail feature is enabled for your system, users with administration privileges can use the utility to view changes to PI AF objects from all PI AF databases, or to a single object. Audit trail is also supported if you are using one of the following cloud database platforms:

• Microsoft Azure SQL Database

• Microsoft Azure Managed Instance

• Amazon RDS for SQL Server

Beginning with PI AF 2017 R2, users with administration privileges can right-click an object in the browser or an object on a list in the viewer and click Audit Trail Events to review audit data specific to that object only.

See Audit trail implementation for details on how to enable the audit trail feature.

Each row in the table of the AF Audit Trail window contains data that identifies a specific change to a PI AF object. You can double-click a row to view details about that change in the AF Audit Trail Details window.

You can press CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy and paste rows from either window into another document, such as a spreadsheet.
