What causes the LastChangedAt value to get updated in Smarts SAM for Durable notifications?
Is there any command or log file which logs timestamps when the LastChangedAt field of a notification gets updated?




Any Smarts code calling the ICS_Notification::changed() function will cause the value for the LastChangedAt field of a notification to get updated. This could be a Smarts SAM notification processing routine when it receives a Notify/clear/changed event from an underlying server, or an application/adapter call to the ICS_Notification::changed() function.

There is no command or log file which logs timestamps when the LastChangedAt field of a notification gets updated. This is because the ICS_Notification::changed() function call does not log anything to the audit log.
