Audit log body format

The audit log formats are basically the same for the plan and the database. The log consists of a timestamp, a series of tags which identify the audit, object, action type, and data sections that vary with the action type. The data is in clear text format and each data item is separated by a comma ( , ).

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"`

"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.

auditType

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

CONMAN: conman command text
DATABASE: Database action
HEADER: The log file header
MAKESEC: makesec run
PARMS: Parameter command text
PLAN: Plan action
RELEASE: release command text
STAGEMAN: stageman run

objectType

Displays the type of the object that was affected by an action, from the following:

DATABASE: Database definition (for header only)
DBCAL: Database calendar definition
DBDOMAIN: Database domain definition
DBJBSTRM: Database Job Scheduler definition
DBJOB: Database job definition
DBPARM: Database parameter definition
DBPROMPT: Database prompt definition
DBRES: Database resource definition
DBSEC: Database security
DBUSER: Database user definition
DBVARTAB: Database variable table definition
DBWKCLS: Database workstation class definition
DBWKSTN: Database workstation definition
PLAN: Plan (for header only)
PLDOMAIN: Plan domain
PLFILE: Plan file
PLJBSTRM: Plan Job Scheduler
PLJOB: Plan job
PLPROMPT: Plan prompt
PLRES: Plan resource
PLWKSTN: Plan workstation

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, GET, 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 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.

workstationName

Displays the HCL Workload Automation workstation from which the user is performing the action.

userName

Displays the logon user who performed the particular action. On Windows® operating systems, if the user who installed WebSphere Liberty was a domain user, for Log Types stageman and conman this field contains the fully qualified user ID domain\user.

frameworkUser

Displays the framework user.

objectName

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

DATABASE: N/A
DBCAL: "calendar"
DBDOMAIN: "domain"
DBJBSTRM: "workstation"#"job_stream"
DBJOB: "workstation"#"job"
DBPARM: "workstation"#"parameter"
DBPROMPT: "prompt"
DBRES: "workstation"#"resource"
DBSEC: N/A
DBUSER: ["workstation"#]"user"
DBVARTAB: "variable_table"
DBWKCLS: "workstation_class"
DBWKSTN: "workstation"
PLAN: N/A
PLDOMAIN: "domain"
PLFILE: "workstation"#"path"("qualifier")
PLJBSTRM: "workstation"#"job_stream_instance"
PLJOB: "workstation"#"job_stream_instance"."job"
PLPROMPT: ["workstation"#]"prompt"
PLRES: "workstation"#"resource"
PLWKSTN: "workstation"

actionDependentContents

Displays the action-dependent data fields. The format of this data is dependent on the "actionType" field.
