Inspecting administrator activity logs in Watson Explorer Content Analytics

Content

Examples of actions that are not considered major and are not logged include modifying a component before the change is saved in the administration console or reading a component before making any changes to it.

To view the user action logs, open the System -> Inspection Log page. This page contains two panes: Filter and Content.

In the Filter pane, you can filter the logs by timestamp (FROM_DATE <= log date <= TO_DATE) first. You can then filter the logs by Action, Component name, Collection ID, and User.

In the Content pane, you can see the filtered log content. The following columns provide information about the logged action:

• Timestamp: The date and time that the action was logged.
• Action: One of the following values:
• Start: When the action is to start a component, such as starting a crawler.
• Stop: When the action is to stop a component.
• Create: When the action is to create a component.
• Modify: When the action is to modify a component.
• Delete: When the action is to delete a component.
• Others: When the action is not one of the preceding actions.
• Component name: The component name like Login, Pear, the REST API path, or some other identifying information.
• Collection ID: The collection ID. This field is empty if the action is not related to a collection.
• User: The user ID of the user who did the action.
• Details: Click the Show details button to see a page with details about the action, such as JSON values or session information.
