Compliance & Reporting (Enterprise Edition only)

AppProfileSafe generates two types of reports. Compliance Reports are HTML documents that summarize audit log activity for a given date range — including operation counts, user activity, integrity verification, and a full operation detail table. Run Reports are JSON files created automatically after every export or import, capturing metadata, timing, step-by-step results, and any errors or warnings.

Report Folder and Retention

All reports are saved to the folder configured by <ReportFolder> in settings.xml. Default: %ProgramData%\IT-Consulting Kinner\AppProfileSafe\Report.

Retention is configured in the <Reporting> section of settings.xml:

<Reporting>
  <RetentionDays>365</RetentionDays>
  <DefaultFormats>json</DefaultFormats>
</Reporting>

Setting	Default	Description
RetentionDays	365	Reports older than this number of days may be deleted during cleanup
DefaultFormats	json	Comma-separated list of default output formats for the report framework

The most recent 5 reports are included in the diagnostics bundle.
