Activity logs

Activity logs provide a robust logging solution. With this feature, it is possible to monitor an open session for all users using advanced data sources.

Depending on the permissions each user has, they may only be able to access Local connection logs .

All activities in the data source are automatically displayed when opening the Activity Logs without having to apply any settings. However, search fields are available and can be useful when there are many activity entries. The results can be refined by specifying the Date or a custom period, the Username, the Message, the Machine name, the Folder, the On open comment, On close comment and the Ticket #. Select All vaults to see entries from all other vaults you have access to. It is also possible to choose between Local Time and UTC Time and to search in all vaults or in the current vault only. When all the criteria have been chosen, the Search button will apply them to the results.
