SYMAUDIT commands display the log of config changes done on the array.  These commands are helpful when an unexpected configuration has taken place and you need to find out when / how it came about.  Also helpful to see if scheduled jobs are being received by the array as expected.

The output is usually large so its best to pipe the SYMAUDIT output to a text file.  Adding a -v and -text to the command will usually give more detail to the commands.
