Audit/logging issue

ℹ️ Support
#1

Nextcloud version: 13.0.0
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS
Apache 2.4.18
PHP 7.0.25

I need to be able to see what user viewed what files, preferably with the according time.
I have already read several posts about it, but none of the solutions seems to work for me.

The only thing that works so far is the User Usage Report, but that isn’t very specific. I have also loaded the Auditing / Logging app and even enabled the admin_audit, but I have no clue where I can check the logs that should be created, because I can’t find a single .log file that is affiliated with the nextcloud installation. Desperately looking for a solution.

Check apache logs :slight_smile:

The path of the log file is ‘/var/www/nextcloud/data/audit.log’.
But you must set the ‘loglevel’ to 1 in config.php, and enabled the Auditing / Logging

I did above but admin_audit events are missing in Logging app installed in latest Firefox browser like here:

I can see though audit.log file being written correctly, just Logging app does not display it. Why?
What did I do wrong?

On fresh install could see those events but once imported data from Nextcloud 12 something got broken.
Is there maybe some table needed to display audit.log file in Logging app?
Also noticed loglevel was not needed on fresh install to see admin_audit events.

hello, exactly the same issue here.
everything is logged well into the audit.log file, but its not displayed within the backend logging app, like its demonstrated here: https://nextcloud.com/wp-content/themes/next/assets/img/features/auditlog.png?x16570

how can I pipe them into this monitoring option?

Thank you

Same here the logging in the webui only shows whats in nextcloud.log. It doesnt show the audit.log.
