Edit an event logger

You edit an event logger in the central pane and Properties.

Prerequisites

Add an event logger.

To edit an event logger:
  1. In Project view, double-click an event logger object.
  2. To change the variables to log, in the editor, expand categories to select or clear variable checkboxes and then select Apply.
    Important:

    When selecting a variable to log, a dynamic link is automatically set under Event fields to log. The dynamic link points to the automatically selected corresponding event argument. If the event argument does not represent the data of interest, select a different attribute in the Dynamic link dialog box.

    You can combine multiple event arguments by using dynamic links or converters (for example, a string formatter).

  3. To change the event logger properties, in Properties, set:
    • Enabled:
      • True. The logger logs events.
      • False. The logger does not log events.
    • Locales. The translations of localized strings stored in the database based on the locale IDs (for example, en-US).
    • Database. The database that records the logger data.
  4. To add an event configuration and log events of interest:
    1. In Properties, next to Event configurations, select Add.
    2. Under EventConfiguration#, set Event source.

      Source

      Event source value

      Listen subtree value

      Any project object:

      (no value)

      True

      A node/object and all its child objects:

      Dynamic link (parent node/object)

      True

      A specific project object:

      Dynamic link (specific object)

      False
    3. In Event type, select the event of interest type.
      Tip: Consider creating a dedicated event logger for audit event types.
    4. In the central pane, select the variables to log and select Apply.
      Important:

      When selecting a variable to log, a dynamic link is automatically set under Event fields to log. The dynamic link points to the automatically selected corresponding event argument. If the event argument does not represent the data of interest, select a different attribute in the Dynamic link dialog box.

      You can combine multiple event arguments by using dynamic links or converters (for example, a string formatter).

    5. To log only the events generated by user interactions with the application, set Non-interactive sessions excluded to True.
  5. To delete an event configuration and stop logging specific events, in Properties, next to EventConfiguration#, select Delete.
