Audit Settings

The Fusion Metadata Registry can be used to audit activity, including structure queries, submissions, data registrations, data queries, etc. For each audited event, the associated server side logs can be captured and stored against the event. The Audit tab in the settings Registry Settings enables the level of auditing to be controlled, and the definition of which log events are captured can also be set. Audit and log information can be given a lifetime after which time they will be deleted.

Audit events are split into two categories:

1. Transactional These audit events are ones which result in the Registry modifying structures, data, or metadata. A transactional event includes structure submissions, data registrations, and reference metadata submissions.

2. Non Transactional These audit events are one where information is being read from the Registry, but no information is being modified. These events include (amongst others) data queries, structure queries, and schema queries.

Audit events are used to capture additional information for structure modifications. They are also used to provide an overview of user activity as shown in the image below.
