The Web Console audit records are written to the product's UI component log files.

The audit records include the following information:

Value	Description
Time stamp	The time stamp that an action was done. For example: 05/02/2017 18:18:30,839
Action execution time (ms)	The action execution time in milliseconds.
User IP Address	The IP address of the user that performed the action (for customers over NAT the actual IP may be the NAT service)
User ID	The DPOD logged in user ID that performed the action
Action	The action description. For example: addUser(userName=User1)

Enabling Audit Log

To enable audit logging, edit the UI service log4j configuration file: /app/ui/MonTier-UI/lib/log4j2.xml.

1. Add a new appender under <Appenders> element with the following content:

<RollingFile name="AUDIT" fileName="${tomee-log-path}/audit.log" filePattern="${tomee-log-path}/audit.%i.log" append="true" bufferedIO="false" bufferSize="0">
	<PatternLayout> 
		<Pattern>%d{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS}- %p %c{1.} [%t] %m %ex%n</Pattern>
	</PatternLayout>
	<Policies>
		<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="5 MB" />
	</Policies>
		<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10"/>
</RollingFile>

2. Add a new logger under <Loggers> element with the following content:

<Logger name="org.montier.ui.web.filters.AuditFilter" level="debug" additivity="false">
	<AppenderRef ref="AUDIT"/>
</Logger>

Make sure to restart the UI service after altering the log4j configuration file.

The output log file will be created in the UI service log directory (/logs/ui) with the name audit.log

In order to export the audit records to an external system, use file transfer mechanism (scp) to copy the logs off the product's server.
