Complete logging of all events is maintained in the repository. Audit reports may be either user driven or object driven.

User driven reports are available in MANAGE > Users.

Object driven reports are available in the History tab of any object, and the Repository as a whole has a History tab as well.

Additionally, audit logs may be downloaded using the REST API.

Audit Event Types

The object based (History tab) UI logs include:

• Date/Time

• User

• Object and Context

• Event Type

• Description including IP Address.

Where the event types are defined as follows:

Audit Event Type	Notes	Where to find the audit event
Created	A “Created” event is added when a user creates a new repository object, such as a folder or model. Creating a new configuration, glossary, physical data model, semantic mapping or data mapping also causes a new version of the model to be created. Therefore a “Created” event is created for the new version as well. A “Created” event is also added when a new model version is imported.	History tab of the newly created repository object, i.e. folder, model or version
	A “Created” event is also added when the user creates a new glossary object, such as a term, or a physical data model object, such as schema, table, view, column, or primary key, etc.	History tab of the glossary model or physical data model andHistory tab of the newly created object
	A “Created” event is also added when a user creates a new user, group, data class, custom attribute, collection, worksheet or dashboard.	The audit event on the user, group, data class, custom attribute, collection, worksheet or dashboard can be found in the csv file generated by “Download user audit log”.
Added child	An “Added child” event is added when a user creates a new repository object, such as folder or model. The newly created folder or model becomes a child of the folder where the new folder or model is placed in. Creating a new configuration, glossary, physical data model, semantic mapping or data mapping, or importing a new model version causes a new version of the object to be created. The new version becomes a child of the model.	History tab of the folder where the new folder or model is placed in andHistory tab of the model where the new version belongs to
	An “Added child” event is also added when a user moves a repository object such as a folder or model from one folder < f1 > to another folder < f2 >. The repository object becomes a child of < f2 >	History tab of the destination folder < f2 >

	A “Deleted” event is also added when the user deletes a glossary object, such as a term, or a physical data model object, such as schema, table, view, column, or primary key, etc.	History tab of the glossary model or physical data model
	A “Deleted” event is also added when a user deletes a user, group, data class, custom attribute, collection, worksheet or dashboard.	The audit event on the user, group, data class, custom attribute, collection, worksheet or dashboard can be found in the csv file generated by “Download user audit log”.

History tab of the folder where the deleted folder or model was in and History tab of the model where the deleted version used to belong to
	A “Deleted child” event is also added when a user moves a repository object such as a folder or model from one folder < f1 > to another folder < f2 >.	History tab of the source folder < f1 >
Move	A “Move” event is added when a user moves a repository object such as a folder or model from one folder < f1 > to another folder < f2 >.	History tab of the repository object being moved
Set Attribute	A “Set attribute” event is added when a user updates an attribute of a repository object, such as folder, model or version. The attribute can be the name, description, import options, naming standards, etc.	History tab of the repository object being updated, i.e. folder, or version
	A “Set attribute” event is also added when the user updates an updatable attribute of a object, such as name, description, and business name etc.	History tab of the object being updated andHistory tab of the model that the object belongs to

Repository Audit Log

The audit events can be downloaded by selecting any folder in MANAGE > Repository via the History tab. In particular, one may select the entire Repository to get a complete log of all events in the repository.

Steps

1. Sign in as a user with at least the Application Administrator capability global role assignment.

2. Go to MANAGE > Repository

3. Select the folder or the Repository In the tree.

4. Go to the History tab.

5. From here you may filter by:

   • time PERIOD

   • USER

   • EVENT TYPE

   • search text FILTER.

Example

Sign in as Administrator, , select the Repository in the tree and go to the History tab.

In this case, we see events where the user Bob creates a hacker user who then deletes a model and signs out. Then Bob deletes that user. The audit history is maintained.

User Audit Log

The audit events can be downloaded via Manage Users > Download user audit log. They can also be seen on the User Profile's Activity Stream.

Steps

1. Sign in as a user with at least the Security Administrator capability global role assignment.

2. Go to MANAGE > Users

3. Right-click on a user and select Download user audit log.

4. A CSV file is produced.

Example

Sign in as Administrator, go to MANAGE > Users, Right-click on a user and select Download user audit log.
