10.0 Logging

Advanced Authentication provides the logging functionality. All the administrative and user actions and events are logged in this section.

Logs help to debug a problem based on the event or action performed.

There is a hard coded log rotation based on the file size. The maximum size of a log file is 20 MB and for WebAuth logs it is 10 MB. Advanced Authentication stores the last ten log files of each type.

Advanced Authentication supports the following types of logs:

NOTE:A tenant administrator cannot access the Web server logs, Replication logs, Superuser logs, and Background tasks logs.

You can change a time zone in the upper-right section that displays your local time zone. The changes are applied for only the logs displayed and are not applied for the exported logs. Advanced Authentication resets the time zone when you switch from the Logs section or close the Administration portal.

You can export the logs to a compressed file in the tar.gz format.

To export logs, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Logs.

  2. Select the log you want to export.

  3. Click Export.

  4. Specify a Start date and End date to determine the required logging period.

  5. Click Export.

Clearing the Logs

You can clear all the logs on the server that you are currently logged on. To clear the logs, perform the following steps:
