The Settings Tab
Use Settings to create a new Audit Event or Event Status.
Configuring an Audit Event or an Event Status
From the Audit Event Configuration or Event Status Notification Configuration tab:
- Click Add Audit Event or Add Status to add a new Audit Event or Event Status.
-
Edit or change the Audit Event or Event Status name using the Edit (pencil) icon.
Changing the name of an Audit Event or Event Status will not change the Audit Event or Event Status name for existing transactions. The edited name is applied only to transactions created after the change was made.
-
Delete the Audit Event or Event Status using the Delete (trash) icon.
Deleting an Audit Event or Status will not delete the Audit Event or Event Status name for existing transactions. However, the deleted Audit Event or Event Status name will no longer appear for any newly created transactions.
On the Event Status Configuration tab, you can now add an email address and an email group to get a notification once an event with the selected status is posted.
The Validate Option
Use the Validate option to check the field values in the inserted messages match the values predefined in Audit Event and Event Status.
If there is no match, the message is not processed and will not appear in the list.
Error and Email Options
In the Event Status Configuration tab, use the following options:
- Error: Select this checkbox to change the status color to red in the transaction page for any Error status.
- Email: Select this checkbox to get a notification to your configured email after a transaction with the selected status is posted.
- Email Group: Select an email group to get a notification once an event with the selected status is posted. Ensure that you enable an email notification before selecting an email group
Note: In the AuditSafe UI, when you post a status from Flogo connector or TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks with preceding and trailing spaces,an email is not sent and status is not displayed in red color.
Event Resend
If you enable Event Resend and click the Resend button on the Event Detail page after reviewing the event ,you can use the Swagger APIs to get the list of the events that are to be sent again for their automation. The events on the list are removed automatically after 24 hours.

Data Exporting, Archiving and Purging
The Data Archiving and Purging feature allows you to configure what kind of data you want to archive and purge. Each month an index is created in the format “name of the month, yyyy”.
You can Open or Close each month’s data. When you click Open, the data is visible and when you click Close, the data is archived. This will improve the Search capabilities. You can purge the data that you do not want. Select the index that you want to purge or delete and click Purge. The data is deleted permanently.
Data Retention
The Data Retention feature allows you to retain data for a specific period. By default, this is configured to save data for a maximum of 18 months. The data is automatically purged when it crosses 18 months. If you want to extend the data retention period beyond 18 months, contact TIBCO support.
For an unlimited data retention, the value is set to 0.
You can change the number of months you want to retain the data from the How many months for data retention list.
To change the number of months:
- Select the number of months from the How many months for data retention list.
-
Click Save.
The changes will be effective from the first of the following month.
