The Device Audit Log (**Device** **Viewer **> **Settings** **&** **Status **> **Device** **Audit** **Log**) provides a device-specific list of events related to the device's management by NetMRI. You can expect to see messages such as *LicenseAdd*, indicating when the device was added to NetMRI management into a Device Group for purposes of Switch Port Management or other licensing requirements. You may see *DiscoveryDelete in* a case where a device with a particular management port IP address was removed from NetMRI management due to another device being managed through the same IP.

A second Device Audit Log, in **Settings** icon > **Notifications **> **Device** **Audit** **Log**, provides a listing for all Discovery and Licensing messages for all devices managed by NetMRI.

When devices are removed from the license count for NetMRI or ACM, related event messages appears.
