Audit log body format

The audit log formats are basically the same for the plan and the database. The log consists of a header portion, an action ID, and data sections that vary with the action type. The data is in clear text format and each data item is separated by a colon ( : ).

The log file entries are in the following format:

"timestamp":"timestamp", "auditType":"audit_type", 
"objectType":"object_type", "actionType":"action_type", 
"workstationName""workstation_name", "userName": "user_name", 
"frameworkUser": "framework_user", "objectName":"object_name"
"actionDependentContents": "action-dependent_fields"

The log files contain the following information:

timestamp
Displays the date and time the action was performed in GMT time. The format is yyyy-mm-dd:hh-mm-ss.

Displays an eight-character value indicating the source of the log record. The following log types are supported:

actionType
Displays what action was performed on the object. The appropriate values for this field are dependent on which action is being performed.

For the plan, the <action_type> can be ADD, DELETE, MODIFY, or INSTALL.

For the database, the ADD, DELETE and MODIFY actions are recorded for workstation, workstation classes, domains, users, jobs, job streams, calendars, prompts, resources and parameters in the database.

The "actionType" field also records the installation of a new Security file. When makesec is run, HCL Workload Automation HCL Workload Automation records it as an INSTALL action for a Security definition object.

LIST and DISPLAY actions for objects are not logged.

For parameters, the command line with its arguments is logged.

Displays the HCL Workload Automationworkstation from which the user is performing the action.

objectName
Displays the fully qualified name of the object. The format of this field depends on the object type as shown here:
