Action Log
The action log interface can be accessed by clicking on the "Action log" navigation item on the left navigation drawer under the system item group.
The interface provides an insight into the actions registered by a system, such as accessing users, fetching records, creating modules and much more.
The action log comes in handy when debugging the system as it provides a rich insight into the system without the need of low-level system understanding.
The interface allows you to:
-
List registered actions (see Listing actions),
-
see action’s details (see Inspecting actions).
Listing actions
Registered actions are displayed in a table in the middle of the interface. The table provides a brief overview of the action:
-
The timestamp of when the action was registered,
-
the user that caused the action to be registered,
-
what part of the exposed system caused the action to be registered (eg.
api/rest), -
what resource was involved when registering the action,
-
what action was being performed,
-
some additional description to help understand the action,
-
the status of the action:
-
info: an informative log that something happened successfully,
-
warning: a warning that something did not go as expected but was not fatal, such as an invalid login attempt,
-
error: there was an error either in the internal system or in one of the extensions.
