Logging and Auditing

This section describes the auditing and logging facilities provided by TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Logging and Auditing
(1) TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM generates events recording its activity, which it logs to local log files.
Note: Increasingly, security concerns and legal compliance requirements must be considered when determining where and how systems store and use data. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM allows you to control what infomation is logged to ensure that that sensitive or confidential information is excluded. See "Controlling What Information is Logged" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Administration for more information.

(2) Selected events are forwarded to and stored in central event database tables.

(3) TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM client application users can access the event database tables to display audit information for managed objects - processes, work items and so on.

(4) External products and utilities can access TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM’s event database tables. For example:

  • Products such as TIBCO Spotfire™ can use the data to perform enterprise analysis tasks by directly accessing the event collection tables of the database. See the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Event Collector Schema Reference for details of the database schema for the event collection tables.
  • External applications can use the reporting API to generate custom reports.

(5) TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM can publish audit data to a JMS topic hosted by a TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS) server. A business activity monitoring (BAM) or other JMS reporting application can subscribe to the JMS topic to retrieve all TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM audit messages.
