# Alarm Audit Events
Automatically generate events when a user arms or disarms an alarm.
Alarm Audit Events allow you to track when certain [alarm](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/video-alarms-getting-started.md)-related tasks occur in your Solink account.
When a user performs a specific action on the **Alarms** page (actions outlined in this article further below), an event is automatically generated and can be viewed via **Events** > **Audit** tab:
Helpful information is included in the alarm event, such as the **email of the user** who triggered the event, the **user type** ([Admin or Standard](/docs/fix-a-problem/frequently-asked-questions-faqs.md#what-are-the-differences-between-admin-and-standard-users)) and the **platform** the user was on (web, mobile app, etc.):
**Note:** Ensure to enable Alarm Audit Events in order to automatically generate these events when a user performs an alarm action. See [**How to Enable Alarm Audit Events**](#how-to-enable-alarm-audit-events) for more information.
The following alarm actions generate an audit event automatically on the Events page.
Audit events are created when a user performs any of these actions on web, iOS (including geo-fencing) or Android devices:
* When a user [disarms temporarily](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-and-disarm-alarms.md#arm-disarm-temporarily):
* When a user [disarms indefinitely](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-and-disarm-alarms.md#arm-disarm-indefinitely):
* When a user [arms temporarily](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-and-disarm-alarms.md#arm-disarm-temporarily):
* When a user arms indefinitely:
* When a user [configures an alarm motion zone](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-motion-zones.md) and selects the **Apply** button:
* When a user turns the [alarm schedule](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-schedule.md) to ON:
* When a user adds, removes or updates an [alarm contact](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-contacts.md):
* When a user adds, deletes or updates an [alarm schedule exception](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/alarm-schedule-exceptions.md):
* When a user [disarms an open alarm](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/manage-open-alarms.md).
* When a user enters an invalid PIN in the [Solink Video Alarm Tablet](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/video-alarm-tablet/video-alarm-tablet-overview.md):
* For [Alarm Loitering Events](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/loitering-zones-video-alarms.md)
**Note:** For more information on **arming and disarming** Solink alarms, see [Arm and Disarm Alarms](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-and-disarm-alarms.md).

### How to Enable Alarm Audit Events
To enable audit events for a specific user, you must turn on the following user permission: **Show Audit Events**.
Once this user permission is set to **On**, the user can view audit events on the **Events** page when they are generated.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/alarm-audit-events.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
