Partial list of Audit Log details

The Audit log can display information about the activities of Axeda Applications users as well as messages and errors sent from the assets.

Partial list of Messages shown in Detail of Audit Log:

Asset messages (Description column)

• Agent command - shows a message received from an Agent and a summary of the contents for that message

• Agent Response - shows the message sent from the Agent in response to a SOAP command sent from the Platform. Shows the agent's status for that command. For example, the status, "Success," indicates the Agent performed the action successfully.
  
  Examples: For the Platform's "Data Item Write" command (Software management upload file), the Agent may respond with ID = 3, meaning a custom component in that Agent inhibited the file upload.

• Changes to Actual or Defined Asset Configuration, or Configuration Type - If an actual asset configuration or a defined asset configuration is created, modified, or deleted, or a configuration type is created, modified, or deleted, or a configuration failed to validate, an Asset Configuration audit entry is created, with the following information:

o        User Create/Update Asset Configuration:

§         Asset Serial - The serial of the Asset which has been updated.

§         User Name - The name of the User who performed the update

o        User Create/Update Defined Configuration

§         Configuration Name - The name of the Defined Configuration which was updated.

§         User Name - The name of the User who performed the update

o        Agent Create/Update Configuration

§         Asset Serial - The serial of the Asset which has been updated.

o        User Create/Update Configuration Type

§         ConfigType - The name of the Configuration Type which was updated

§         User Name - The name of the User who performed the update

o        User Deleted Configuration Type

§         ConfigType - The name of the Configuration Type which was updated

§         User Name - The name of the User who performed the update

o        Configuration Validation Failed after persistence

§         Asset Serial - The serial of the Asset which has been updated.

§         ConfigType - The name of the ConfigType that failed to Validate

§         Message - The validation error message

• Asset Registration messages - When an asset registers with the Platform, it sends registration information to identifying itself and its configuration. The Audit log shows a message similar to the following:
  
  Asset <asset name> registered

• Changes to Gateway configuration - If you add, modify, or remove an asset from a gateway asset's configuration, the Audit Log shows whether the action succeeded or failed on the gateway asset (as indicated in a message sent from the asset).
  
  The Detail for these messages identifies the type of asset sending the message, based on the model for that asset, as follows:

• 0 - asset operates as a gateway

• 1 - asset managed by a gateway

• 2 - asset managed by a gateway through auto-discovery

• 3 - stand-alone asset (communicates directly to the Platform)

The asset messages can show statuses of success (0) or failure (1)
 

For example:

Gateway message 2: success - status 0 -- message from auto-discovered gateway-managed asset; successful

Gateway message 1: Removed asset Asset 2 from gateway - message from gateway-managed asset; the gateway asset removed the specified asset from its configuration

Platform messages

• SOAP command - shows a message sent from the Platform to an agent and a summary of the contents for that message. For example, this status response could command the asset to enter or exit maintenance mode. The detail for these responses could show the following:

1. • 1000 - exit maintenance mode

   • 1001 - stay in the maintenance mode
