Audited Events

This page enumerates all the audited events that may be registered by Connect, including details of the data included in each event.

There are many types of events, for example a user creating a group:

time="2022-10-18T20:07:39.813Z" level=info msg="Added group Publishers" action=add_group actor_description="admin n (admin)" actor_guid=8c1c6df6-16bf-4901-b52c-50de0b1da233 actor_id=1 actor_role=administrator entry_id=73 group_guid=1b2c1790-c95f-4df3-9363-6563475070d0 group_id=2 group_name=Publishers type=audit

Taking this example, we can notice that the data associated with the event is provided as key=value pairs. We’ll always get the time (UTC), level=info, type=audit, action, actor_id, actor_description, actor_guid, actor_role and the message as msg. There is also additional data only relevant to each event, in this example creating a group we have group_guid, group_id and group_name.

Later on you will be able to see all the data fields related to each specific audit action.

The Actor Behind The Events

Audited actions can be triggered by a user or by the system, and each audited event specifies the type of actor with the included log fields.

Event records triggered by a user will have actor_id, actor_guid, actor_role and actor_description.

Example record:

actor_id=4 actor_guid=8c1c6df6-16bf-4901-b52c-50de0b1da233 actor_role=publisher actor_description="Frank Castell (fcastell)"

Events triggered by the system will have fixed actor_id and actor_role fields with 0 and system as the values, and will not have an actor_guid:

actor_id=0 actor_role=system actor_description="Scheduled email checker"

The actor_description provides more details about the system process related to the event.

Data Fields Types

Data fields included in log records are of type string, regardless of the configured format (TEXT or JSON), except for *_id fields which are of type int, like entry_id, content_id, user_id, group_id, etc. All events are listed below including their related data fields.

Note

The time in every log entry is logged in UTC. E.g: time=2022-01-01T20:00:00.000Z
