Action log entries
When you analyze an action log, you can organize the data into categories, actions, and properties (identifiers and arguments). You can map these to database columns, which you can display in a Spotfire visualization.
- The time of the action.
- The time the server logged the action.
- The addresses for the server and the computer where the action was performed.
- The user account that performed the logged action.
- The category of the action, specifying whether the action originated on the Spotfire Server (such as an admin action) or from a service (such as Automation Services).
- The properties (identifying properties or arguments) specific to the action performed. For example, when a user changes a password, the property uName is logged to indicate the user name.
- Whether the action was completed successfully.
- The session and service instance unique identifiers.
How the data is presented
Every logged event is placed on a new row in the log, and semicolons separate the entries within the logged event.
LOGGED_TIME; MACHINE; USER_NAME; ORIGINAL_TIME; ORIGINAL_IP; LOG_CATEGORY; LOG_ACTION; SUCCESS; SESSION_ID; ID1; ID2; ARG1; ARG2; ARG3; ARG4; ARG5; ARG6
The properties and arguments correspond to the fields
id1
,
id2
, and
arg1
through
arg6
.
ARG5
corresponds to
SERVICE_INSTANCE_ID
.
Example
2019-03-18T09:36:00.381+0100;10.100.32.129;jdoe;2019-03-18T09:36:00,381+0100;10.98.45.189;
admin;change_passwd;true;7583cdc4-a6b8-40d4-88e6-90f5d499ff79
For logs that are written to a database, the fields correspond to column names. The logged data is mapped to the appropriate columns to create a database view.

For more information, see Action log generic entries and Action log categories. For an example of a typical set of user actions logged to the action logs, see Sample action log output.
You can configure action logging so that only certain categories are logged. See Configuring the action log web service from the configuration tool for more information.
