High-level monitoring of system activity by a user is used for recording all processed Web service requests.

Example: Actions that can be logged include:

Configuration
Info: Performing the described step requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.
The level of system activity that is logged is configured through the following option:
- File: configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file)
- Name of option: LOGLEVEL
- Possible values:
- 0 - High-level logging not enabled
- 1 - Logon and Logoff only
- 2 - All Web service calls
Note: Logging all service calls results in a large number of rows in the smart_log table.
- Default value: OFF
- Example:
define ('LOGLEVEL', '0');

Viewing system activity
The result of the Web service logging is written to the smart_ log table and can be viewed through the Service Logs page in Studio Server.
Step 1. In Studio Server, access the Service Logs page by doing the following:
Step 1a. In Studio Server, click Advanced in the Maintenance menu or on the Home page. A page with all advanced Maintenance features appears.
Step 1b. Click Service logs.
The Service Logs page appears.
Step 2. (Optional) Filter the page by using the various lists at the top of the page.
Step 3. Click the Search icon. The results are shown on the page.
Figure: An example of the results.
Periodically cleaning up Service Logs
When Service logging is enabled, the smart_log table can quickly fill up with a large number of entries. This can result in performance issues.
To clean up the table, an Studio Server Job named 'AutoCleanServiceLogs' can be periodically run.
Step 1. Make sure that Studio Server is set up and configured to run Server Jobs.
Step 2. In Studio Server, access Integrations > Job Configurations and configure the Server Job named 'AutoCleanServiceLogs'.
Step 3. Enable the following options in the configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file):
Note: For configuration details, see the comments in the configserver.php file.
- AUTOCLEAN_SERVICELOGS_DAYS
- LOGLEVEL
