TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Action log reference

Spotfire Server action logs capture usage data, such as when a user logs in, opens a file from the library, adds bookmarks, pages through analyses, and so on. Action logs capture events from Spotfire Server and can also be configured to capture events from Automation Services, Spotfire Analyst, and Spotfire Business Author.

You can use the action logs to log users' actions in Spotfire, but you cannot use it to log the user state. For example, you can log when a user changes licenses or access permissions for another user (user actions), but you cannot log which actions a user is allowed to perform (user state).

Actions are collected in the logs and stored in files or in a database. Actions that do not originate from the server are sent to Spotfire Server through a web service.
  • You must enable and configure the web service if you want actions that do not originate from the server to be logged.
  • When you enable action logging, you must restart all service instances. If you do not restart all service instances, your logging changes will not take effect.
