Configuration
This feature is configured in two places, log4j2.xml
file and in auditLogging
configuration.
log4j2.xml
Here you define the loggers to be used by the audit logging. Here is an example extracted from the application log4j2.xml
:
<RollingFile name="sync-log-audit" fileName="${magnolia.logs.dir}/magnolia-audit.log" filePattern="${magnolia.logs.dir}/magnolia-audit-%i.log" append="true"> <PatternLayout pattern="%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss}%m%n"/> <Policies> <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1MB"/> </Policies> <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="5"/> </RollingFile> <Async name="log-audit"> <AppenderRef ref="sync-log-audit"/> </Async>
auditLogging configuration
Define the actions you want to log in auditLogging
configuration. You can enable the preconfigured actions and define which logger they should use. Define separators for each action or use the default separator (comma) for all of them.
Below is an extract of the output of the logs. The general pattern is "when, what, who and where".
