# Audit Reports

OpManager's Audit Reports provide in-depth visibility into user activity, API usage, and configuration changes within the application. These reports are essential for ensuring accountability, enhancing security, and maintaining operational transparency across your network monitoring setup.

Audit Reports allow administrators to track and review:

- User actions performed within the OpManager interface.
- API requests made to the system, including any database-modifying operations.
- Data collections executed along with monitoring.

This centralized logging mechanism helps IT teams conduct internal audits, investigate issues, and meet regulations or organizational requirements.

To access the audit reports, navigate to **Reports -> Audit** in OpManager.

There are three types of Audit Reports in OpManager:

- [API Access](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/help/audit-reports.html#api-access)
- [Data Collection](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/help/audit-reports.html#data-collection)
- [General](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/help/audit-reports.html#general-reports)
