(v24) Manage Activity Logs

Manage Activity Logs

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

The Symphony server records user- and server-based activities in log files. These files can be used by Symphony administrators to troubleshoot issues that may occur with the Symphony server, for example, activities related to setting up data sources or creating visuals and dashboards. When Symphony is installed in your network environment, a log file is created.

By default, activity logging is enabled, but some activities are not logged by default. For details, see the Activities Log Reference Sheet.

Important: Activity logging in zoomdata-activity.log is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Information previously captured in zoomdata-activity.log can be found in other log files such as access.log, service.log, and by using Symphony's User Auditing feature.

You can enable or disable activity logging by calling REST API endpoints. See Activity Logging. A list of the types of activities that are logged can be found in the Activities Log Reference Sheet.

For more information about other Symphony log files, see Symphony Log Files Reference.
