Configure action logging using the command line
By default, user action logging with system monitoring is not enabled or configured. You can enable and configure it from the server command line.
When configuring action logging to a database, you will have help from the included sample scripts. They are found in the installation kit under <Spotfire Server installation kit>/scripts/{database type}_install/actionlog.
The database scripts perform the following tasks:
- Create a user, schema and/or database.
- Create the ACTIONLOG table.
- Optionally, create index tables to help with searches on the ACTIONLOG table.
- Create some views for categories and actions with informative column names, and with the same information as that described in Action log entries. The views are needed only if you use them for analysis. During an upgrade, these views are the only things that must be updated in the database to enable new functionality.
Follow the guidance in this section to enable and configure action logging from the command line.
