You can query the audit data and also generate reports from its contents. To create system-generated or customized reports for internal OpenEdge events, you can use the reports provided by OpenEdge. For more information, see Report on audit data with prefiltered and custom reports.

You can also create audit data reports by using your own general-purpose report-generation tool. If you do choose to create your own reports, an understanding of the audit data schema is necessary.

Note: The following topics assume you have some knowledge of the OpenEdge auditing architecture and functionality described earlier in this document.
