Logs

Logs​

The Logs section provides administrators with comprehensive visibility into platform activity and user actions, serving as an audit trail for security, debugging, and compliance purposes.

This logging system integrates with user management, role management, authentication systems, and process monitoring to provide complete platform oversight.

Overview​

The logs interface displays all platform activities in a structured table format, allowing administrators to track user behavior, system events, and operational changes across the platform.

Tips for Effective Log Management​

Search Strategies​

Optimize your log searches:

  1. Use Date Filters: Narrow down searches to specific time periods for faster results
  2. Combine Filters: Use multiple filter criteria to find exact log entries
  3. Action-Specific Searches: Use action filters to focus on specific types of operations
  4. User-Focused Analysis: Filter by specific users to track individual activity patterns

Regular Monitoring​

Establish monitoring routines:

  1. Daily Reviews: Check logs regularly for unusual activity patterns
  2. Weekly Summaries: Generate weekly activity summaries for trend analysis
  3. Monthly Audits: Perform monthly comprehensive audits for compliance
  4. Alert Integration: Use with instances monitoring for automated alerting

Performance Considerations​

Optimize log management for large datasets:

  1. Date Range Limits: Use appropriate date ranges to limit result sets
  2. Specific Filters: Apply specific filters before broad searches
  3. Export Capabilities: Export filtered results for offline analysis
  4. Archive Strategy: Implement log archiving for long-term retention
