Viewing the Activity Log

Learn how to use the Activity Log to view events for content scans.


Overview

The Activity Log records events related to your content scans. If the scan encounters errors, cannot extract the content for evaluation, or performs actions, the Event and/or Message columns display the corresponding details. You will see “…Waiting for data” for events that the reporting database is still processing. The information should update within a few minutes.   

If you navigated to the Activity page using the View Activity log link for a failed scan, the tab will display only the logged activity for the selected scan. If the scan is part of a mapped location or data set, it will display activity for all child scans included in the mapped location or data set. A pill displays the scan ID for the selected scan or parent scan for your reference. Use the Reset button to clear the selected scan and view all scan activity again as needed. 

Default Retention Days

DryvIQ removes activity that is 180 days old. You can customize this value by editing the auditing:table:retention days configuration option.
