Auditing supported operations

This article is from before the rebranding to SelfGuide. Text and images can include the old product name ProductivityPerformer or its abbreviation PP.

Introduction

Auditing provides insights into tenant usage and can be used to identify usage patterns, monitoring trends, or investigate unwanted scenarios. The audit log file contains operations performed by all identities, including users viewing instructions, editors creating and maintaining content, and administrators modifying configurations.

Explanation of columns

An audit log file contains the following columns:

  • Timestamp
    The date and time the operation was performed (in UTC).
  • ActorId
    The unique id of the user performing the operation. For build in actors (e.g. system or guest) this field is empty.
  • ActorName
    The last known name of the user performing the operation, making the ActorId easier to interpret.
  • Domain 
    The functional area within the application to which the operation belongs.
  • EntityId
    The unique id of the entity affected by the operation. This field might be empty if the domain does use entities. For example, assigning ownership links a user to an instruction and does not have a separate entity.
  • EntityName
    The last known name of the entity, making the EntityId easier to interpret.
  • Operation
    The action that was performed.
  • Description
    Optional additional details about the operation, such as the id of the user assigned as owner of an instruction.

Supported operations

Auditing is developed as a generic feature within the product. The data included in the audit log file depends on how individual functionality support auditing.

Audit coverage is expanded over time as:

  • New features are developed and prepared for general availablity
  • Existing features are updated to include auditing support
