Configuring Audit Log

The audit log allows you to see the actions performed in MDM Web App. It is possible to configure which MDM Web App user actions are logged.

To configure the MDM Web App audit log:

  1. Open the MDM Engine project in ONE Desktop.

  2. Go to GUI Configuration > Auditing.

  3. Select Add to start configuring a new audit log.

  4. Make sure the first column, Enable, is checked to ensure that the auditing is on.

  5. Fill in the configuration fields.

    Name Required Description

    File

    Yes

    Logging file name pattern; both absolute and relative paths can be used (the path is relative to the location of the server configuration file—typically Files>etc>mdm.serverConfig). The default value is: ../storage/mda_audit%g.log. The following special characters can be used in the file name pattern:

    • / - local pathname separator

    • %t - system temporary directory

    • %h - value of the "user.home" system property

    • %g - generation number to distinguish rotated logs

    • %u - a unique number to resolve naming conflicts

    • %% - translates to a single percent sign "%"
