Tired of manually filling out the audit log?
Do you spend time each day filling out logs to prove to auditors that you have looked at a system report? Do you spend time entering details into a spreadsheet about reports you reviewed? Do you file these reports and then have trouble retrieving them?
Electronic retrieval is best. For example, we previously used a 3995 optical device; today, we use tape or virtual tape. Robot/REPORTS works with many different storage formats, including 3995 optical devices and virtual tape. You can archive your reports by saving them to a save file and then saving them to tape or virtual tape.
Auditors often ask you to prove that you review daily reports and to provide evidence that you document issues related to security, performance, monitoring, change control, and more. The Robot/REPORTS Browser Interface helps you review Good Morning reports from your other Help/Systems products (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Use the Robot/REPORTS Browser Interface to review Good Morning reports from multiple products. (Click images to enlarge.)
As you review the reports, you can use Robot/REPORTS to place electronic notes in each report to prove to your auditor that you reviewed it (see Figure 2). The best part—your notes are archived with the report.
Figure 2: Robot/REPORTS allows you to include electronic notes.
Six months later, when an auditor arrives, you can view a list of reports and retrieve a specific report from your save file, tape, or virtual tape archive. Robot/REPORTS displays your reports and their archive status in a Web browser (see Figure 3). Robot/REPORTS makes it easy to present information to an auditor.
