Document ID : 000-000301 Created: 5/01/1999 Last changed on: 5/01/1999

Field audits data is usually saved to diskettes or other removable media and then merged into the main NetKeeper LAN inventory database.

It is often useful to view the automatic audit log to check for errors logged during the audit process. The automatic audit log is generated by the 16 bit or 32 bit audit utilities. The utilities don't, in general, display errors to the end user. Instead, errors are logged to a file. The utilities also log progress notes such as audit start or end.

The log file is NKLOG.DAT
