User Activity Log Events

User Activity Log Events

User activity log events describe all domain and security management tasks that a user completes.
Use the user activity log events to determine when a user created, updated, or removed services, nodes, users, groups, or roles.
The Service Manager writes user activity log events when the Service Manager needs to authorize a user to perform one of the following domain actions:
  • Enable or disable a service process.
  • Start, stop, enable, or disable a service.
  • Add, update, or shut down a node.
  • Modify the domain properties.
  • Move a folder in the domain.
The Service Manager also writes user activity log events each time a user adds, updates, or removes a user, group, operating system profile, or role.
The user activity log displays information about the user who performed the security action or who failed to log in. When the Service Manager logs an unsuccessful login attempt, the logs display an error message that contains the following information:
  • User ID whose login attempt failed
  • Security domain that rejected the login attempt
  • Application and version that the user attempted to log in to. For example:
    application [Informatica Administrator] version [10.5.2]
  • Client IP address from which the login attempt originated
  • Reason for the rejection. For example:
    [<error code>] The user [<user ID>] in security domain [Native] does not exist in the domain.]
The user activity logs also displays information about security audit trails and log events for changes to users, groups, and permissions.
The Service Manager writes a user activity log event each time a user account is locked or unlocked. The Service Manager also writes a user activity log event each time a user tries to log in to the domain with a client application.
To include security audit trails in the user activity log events, you must enable the SecurityAuditTrail property for the PowerCenter Repository Service in the Administrator tool.
When you import one or more repository objects, you can generate audit logs.
The audit logs contain the following information about the .xml file imported:
  • Host name and IP address of the client machine from which the .xml file was imported
  • Full local path of the .xml import file
  • The file name
  • The file size in bytes
  • Logged in user name
  • Number of objects imported
  • Time stamp of the import operation
