When auditing is enabled for a Printer Agent, a log file is created indicating who printed how many pages to which printer on a given date. The log file is in a comma-separated format (.csv). The data from this log file can be viewed from the Health Monitor or downloaded into a spreadsheet.
From the Internal Auditing page you can complete the following tasks:
You can use either Novell iManager or the iPrint Manager Health Monitor to enabel auditing.
You need to enable auditing for each printer you want to audit.
In Novell iManager, click iPrint > Manage Printer, and then browse to and select the printer.
Click Configuration > Auditing
Click the Enable Auditing check box.

From the Audit page you can manage your audit logs by using the displayed buttons. When audit logs are no longer needed, you can delete them. You might want to save the current data in the audit.csv file into a separate audit log nn a daily, weekly or monthly basis to keep the log file more manageable.
The active audit log file (audit.csv) logs data for all printers that have been enabled for auditing. You can generate a report from this file or move the data to a saved file using Start New Audit Log. You cannot download the audit.csv file. To download a file, it must be saved as a separate audit log. When you move the data to a saved audit log using the Start New Audit Log, the log file is named auditxxx.csv, where xxx is the next sequential number of the log. After a log file is saved, you can download the file to your workstation and import it into a spreadsheet program.
On the iPrint Manager Health Monitor main page, click Advanced iPrint Manager Information > Auditing.
Right-click the name of the audit log you want to download, then click Save Target As.
Follow the prompts and save the file to your desired location.
When the file is downloaded, you can open the report in a spreadsheet application to sort, view, and format the data to meet your needs.
