Hi All,
How do you load a date range into Audit Trail 11? I can't seem to find the option.
Cheers!
Chris, I've replied on the thread you mentioned. Roughly, the relevant LFFTS catalog is 15x size of the original uncompressed audit log files. Hope it could help you somehow.
I don't believe adding specific date ranges is possible with Audit Trail 11. The only option I see is a single Data Age.
Thanks Chuck, yes that's all I see as well. No option to add a specific date range.
I'd like to flag this as a feature request/reinstatement as it's something a lot of our customers use quite often.
Cheers!
Hi Chris,
Not sure if you actually want to create Audit reports with a specific date range. If so, you can do that by adding date range filters for each report you created on the Reporting web site.

Hi Leon,
No this is loading the data to report on, rather than filtering the data.
Let's say I want to look at some events back in Jan 2021, and my audit data is currently set to the last 3 months. In Audit trail 10, I could simply add the range 1st to the 31st Jan 2021 and run my reports, in Audit trail 11 I'd now have to load 14 months worth of data to run that same report. This will only be compounded when going further into the past.
It just seems a backwards step to remove this feature that was already there in AT10, I don't understand the benefits of removing it.
Cheers!
Hi Chris,
I understand your requirements. Previously, we ask the user to limit the date range due to the performance issue by avoiding loading too much data. However, in Audit Trail 11, we significantly improve the reporting performance by adopting LFFTS.
Thus, we strongly recommend the user to set a larger date range (e.g, last 12 months or even 18 months) so that the user can run any desired reports efficiently without frequently changing the date range settings.
Regards,
Leon
Thanks Leon, that explains the thinking, although this somewhat links to another post about disk space forecasting. If we're going to load 18/24/36 months worth of data, we'll need a way to forecast how much disk space will be required for the AT catalog. Is this something you can look into please?
