About Audit Logs

In the Audit page, you can view audit records for Personalization Operations events.  When you first access the page, all audit logs for which you have viewing rights are visible. The logs are listed in a table with the following columns:

Name Description
Date The date and time the event took place.
Actioned By The Personalization Operations user who submitted the task.
Source The tool or utility that performed the actions, such as Personalization Operations or the bulk processing of multi-user operations.
Type The type of action or event, such as creating backups or deleting settings. Types also include messages generated by Personalization Operations in response to user actions, such as Batch Job Submitted or Batch Job Defer Changed. The bulk processor produces records about jobs starting and completing, and error messages are also recorded.
Status Statuses are Success, Warning, and Error.

The system has only one warning. If a batch job completes and less than 50% of users have a succeeded or partially succeeded status, the Success is changed to a Warning.
Description A description for a single-user task contains a description of the task and the user whom it affected.

For example: Created backup for 'Graphics Application Group' for user 'GraphicDesigners\JohnSmith'

Descriptions for completed multi-user operations (batch jobs) contain a number of statistics:

 For example: Job 81 (create backup) complete. Users: selected 853, succeeded 852, partially succeeded1, failed 0, retries 0

  • Selected users - The total number of users that match the scope of the job, using Personalization Groups, Active Directory, and individually selected users.
  • Affected users - The number of users whose profiles are affected by any tasks in the job. For example if the job contains a single task for an Application Group and the Application Group was not assigned to a user's Personalization Group, that user would not be affected. The number of Affected users is equal to the sum of the Succeeded, Partially Succeeded, and Failed users.
  • Succeeded users - Those users for whom all the tasks in the job found data to act upon and no errors occurred.
  • Partially succeeded users  - Those users for whom some of the tasks were completed successfully but not all.
  • Failed users  - Those users for whom no tasks were successful, either because there was no data (for example, a registry key to be deleted did not exist) or some other error occurred.
  • Retries - The total number of retries performed during the job. Retries should occur on database or concurrency errors.
