Audit Logging for CORE Administration

Audit logging is the automatic, chronological logging of user actions. Audit logging results for the CORE Administration user interface cover, for example, starting and stopping components, configuration changes, and changes to user security. They are stored in the UserActions.csv file in the %MINDSERVER_PROJECTS%\adminTool.admin\WEB-INF\Logs\Audit folder.

Audit logging is enabled by default. To disable it, open the configuration of the admin application in CORE Administration and, in the Project parameters node, clear the Audit Logging check box.

A new audit log file is created every month. The content for the last month is stored as UserActions.csv.<timestamp>.
