Overview

Clicking on the Logs link in the left-hand navigation will display the "Edit Filter" page.

The "Edit Filter" page allows users to select the content displayed in the advanced file view. The selections entered here will be remembered through the current session. Once a user signs out, or the session expires, the selections are forgotten.

• Date: Allows the user to select entries between any two date/times. The "All Day" link, if present, will set the start time to 12:00 AM, and the end time to 11:59 PM. (Remember to check the box to apply date settings.)
• Action: Allows the user to select general action types. (i.e. "Administration", "File Transfer", "Uploads", etc.)
• User: Allows the user to specify a username, full name, or enter a partial username.
• File: Allows the user to specify either a file ID or a file name. (File transfers only - wildcards accepted for file name.)
• Size: Allows the user to specify a file size. (i.e. "Greater than", "Less than" - file transfers only.)
• Folder: Allows the user to specify a folder.
• IP Address: Allows the user to specify an IP address from which actions were initiated. (Wildcards accepted.)
• Agent Brand: Allows the user to specify an agent name (for example: "Mozilla" or "MOVEit Central").
• Success/Failure: Allows the user to note whether all entries, only failed entries or only successful entries should be displayed.

Logs Page

The logs page provides an easy way to look up file transfers, sign ons, password changes and other audited activities from an online interface. The columns and content of this view are entirely customizable through the "Customize View" (columns) and "Edit Filter" (content) links. Pre-defined filters, both built-in and custom, can be accessed by clicking the "Favorite Filters" link, and custom views can be saved by clicking the "Save Current View to Favorites" link. Finally, navigation links ("Go to Page") allow users to page through log entries.

Note: To conform with Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements, MOVEit DMZ creates an audit log record every time the audit log is viewed. A "View Audit Log" record is written every time a list of log records is viewed, including every run of any report that accesses the audit log. A "View Audit Log Entry" record is written every time the details of an individual audit log record are viewed. For users who find these records distracting, a new "Suppress Log Views" option is available in the existing Customize View options. This option defaults to off, thus displaying log view audit records.

Users, files, and folders that are referenced by log entries can usually be clicked on to view the information page for that item. The date/time value of each log entry can be clicked on to view the details for that particular entry. A certificate icon next to the date/time value indicates that this log entry contains client certificate information, meaning the user who did the action was signed on with a client certificate at the time. The details of the client certificate will be displayed on the log entry page.

Log Entry

Clicking on the Date/Time link for a specific entry in the list of log entries brings up the Log Entry page for that entry.

This page contains all the information available about the entry including when the entry was added, who was responsible for the action, a description of the action that took place, the success or failure code of the action, and any notes and/or further details about the action. A link to return to the main Logs page is also available, which will return the user to the same Logs page they arrived from.

View User Logs

Each user profile has a "View User Logs" link which administrators can use to define a log filter that returns log information about just that user.

Clicking the link leads to a filter specification page, which allows the admin to select a user to view log information about. Clicking on the Apply Filters button will execute the user filter and show the log entries associated with the selected user.

Customize View

The "Customize View" link will bring up a form which allows users to select the columns displayed in the advanced file view. Changes to these selections will be saved and pre-filled during future log page visits, even between sessions. At least one column must be selected here, or an error will be displayed.

File Columns:

• Name: The original name of the file
• ID: The seven-digit ID of the file
• Folder Name: The name of the MOVEit DMZ folder in which this file is currently stored
• Size: The size (in bytes) of the file or secure message
• Duration: The length of time (in seconds) it took to transfer the file
• Rate: The data transfer rate of the file transfer (in bytes/second)

User Columns:

• Username: The username of the user (i.e. "fsmith") who performed this action
• Full Name: The full name of the user (i.e. "Fred Smith") who performed this action
• Target Name: The full name of the user this action affected
• IP Address: The IP address from which this action was initiated

Other Columns:

• Action: The action performed
• Notes: Additional notes regarding this action
• Client: The client type and version from which this action was performed. Icons will be displayed for known client types, and unknown client types will have their full agent identification string displayed.

Special Options:

• Suppress Sign On/Sign Off: Used to hide or show sign on or sign off entries in the log. (Often people are only interested in specific actions users performed rather than the times they were signed on.)
• Suppress Email Notes: Used to hide or show email notification entries in the log.
• Suppress Log Views: Do not display log view records. (To conform with PCI requriements, a record is created each time the audit log, or an audit log entry is viewed.)
• Use Large Text: Increases the font size used in the table of entries

Entries per Page:

• Sets the number of entries displayed on each page.

Edit Filter

The "Edit Filter" allows users to select the content displayed in the advanced file view.

Favorite Filters

The "Favorite Filters" link will bring up a page which allows users to select a saved custom view, or one of several commonly requested filters involving file transfers, administration, or all activities. The "Define Advanced Filter" link will pop up the Edit Filter form described above.

Save Current View to Favorites

Favorite views (combinations of column and record count preferences and filter options) can be saved to the Favorite Filters page by setting up the view using the "Customize View" and "Edit Filter" links, then clicking the "Save Current View to Favorites" link. The user will be prompted to enter a name for the new view, or use the name of the currently selected view, if they would like to update it. Once a custom view has been saved, it can be loaded again from the Favorite Filters page.
