Phase 11. Monitor Log Validation

Halochain is a powerful feature that scrutinizes audit log files such as HaloENGINE_Monitor.log and HaloENGINE_Admin_Activities.log for any manipulation.

Prerequisites:

1. Make sure that you have enabled Halochain in Monitor Properties.

2. It is recommended to enable the Halochain feature during the initial configuration of the HaloENGINE. This is because Halochain is designed to work with a fresh HaloENGINE_Monitor.log file. In case, you enable it at a later stage, you need to back up the HaloENGINE_Monitor.log file and then delete or empty the log file to start the validation.

Follow the below procedure to validate the audit log file: 

1. On the left navigation bar, click Customer Configuration, and then from the Customers list, select one of them.

2. On the Monitor Log Validation tab, click Configure.

3. The Monitor Local Log Validation page will appear:

   2. If manipulation is detected, you will obtain the following output:
