Using SQL Server Management Studio
To view a SQL Server audit log
In Object Explorer, expand the Security folder.
Expand the Audits folder.

When finished, select Close.
Microsoft recommends viewing the audit log by using the Log File Viewer. However, if you're creating an automated monitoring system, the information in the audit file can be read directly by using the sys.fn_get_audit_file
function. Reading the file directly returns data in a slightly different (unprocessed) format. For more information, see sys.fn_get_audit_file (Transact-SQL).
