The Web Console and the Admin Console audit records are written to their 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 log4j2 configuration file at /app/ui/MonTier-UI/lib/log4j2.xml or /app/appadmin/MonTier-AppAdmin/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.common.utils.web.filter.AbstractAuditFilter" level="debug" additivity="false">
	<AppenderRef ref="AUDIT"/>
</Logger>

3. Restart the UI/AppAdmin services after altering the log4j2 configuration files.

The output log file will be created in the logs directory (/logs/ui or /logs/appadmin) 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.
