Viewing audit and snapshot usage

After you create and run an audit, you can view it from the All Managed Servers list or from the Device Explorer, and see all audits that are associated with a certain server.

From all managed servers

To view a server’s audit usage from the All Managed Servers list:

In the navigation pane, select Devices > Servers > All Managed Servers.
In the content pane, select a server.
From the View drop-down list, select Audits or Snapshot Specifications. The details pane shows information about audit and snapshot usage.
1. If you selected Audits, in the details pane you can choose one of the following options:
  - Audit - Server is Target: Shows all audits where the selected server is the target of the audit.
  - Audit - Server is Source: Shows all audits where the selected server is used as the source of the audit.
2. If you selected Snapshot Specifications, the details pane shows all snapshot specifications that target the selected server.
(Optional) In any either of these views, you can select an audit or audit results, and perform actions from the Actions menu. For example, you can open an audit, create an audit, re-run an audit, or delete an audit.

From the Device Explorer

To view a server’s audit usage from the Device Explorer:

In the navigation pane, select Devices > Servers > All Managed Servers.
In the content pane, select a server, right-click, and then select Open.
In the Device Explorer, from the Views pane, select Management Policies > Audits.
In the content pane, from the Show drop-down list, select one of the following options:
- Audit - Server is Target: Shows all audits where the selected server is the target of the audit.
- Audit - Server is Source: Shows all audits where the selected server is used as the source of the audit.
  Note ESXi servers can only use another ESXi server as a target.
(Optional) In this view, you can select an audit and perform actions from the Actions menu. For example, you can open an audit, create an audit, re-run an audit, or delete an audit.
Next, from the Views pane you can select Archived Audit Results to see all audit results associated with this server that have been archived. For more information, see Archiving audit results
