The audit trail is a chronological record of executed user actions in VDG Sense. The audit trail provides a detailed and human-readable log file that can be used as documentary evidence of an operator actions during an event. The audit trail generates a User log file, which can be found in the log folder of the Client. On the Client go to C:\%AppData%\Roaming\VDG Security\SenseClient\log and open the SenseClient-USER log.

The user log file contains user, macro or API actions performed on the client. Each entry is logged as a readable line of text, separated in several columns.
