Oracle Identity Analytics writes messages to several logs. The two logs most commonly used by business administrators, however, are the following:
Oracle Identity Analytics Audit Event Log
Oracle Identity Analytics Import/Export Log
These logs can be viewed from the user interface. Audit Event log records and reports user operations in Oracle Identity Analytics, whereas Import/Export log captures all the information that is imported and exported from Oracle Identity Analytics. In addition, select records can be saved as CSV files, which you can open using your preferred spreadsheet or reporting software.
User operations in Oracle Identity Analytics are recorded and reported in the Audit Event log. The following Oracle Identity Analytics events are logged:
Add, Modify, and Delete user actions
