This includes every User authentication, query, SSH, and RDP command as well as administrator actions such as permission changes. ### Audit History Through the use of the `sdm` command line tool, Customer administrators can review a variety of data points as they currently are, or as they were at any point in time in the past. Audit history can be exported in a number of formats, including JSON and CSV, to provide evidence to auditors or feed into internal tooling. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.strongdm.com/concepts/security/pervasive-auditing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
