• The Audit Log is written automatically by the JobScheduler Web Services:
  • Entries to the Audit log are made when an action that changes the state of a JobScheduler Object is initiated in the JOC Cockpit or other application accessing the JobScheduler Web Services.
  •  There is no mechanism for switching off the Audit Log.
• The Audit Log is written in two locations simultaneously:
  • In the DBMS used by the JobScheduler Web Services: 
    • This instance is used by the JOC Cockpit to allow operators to view the Audit Log information.
    • It is also used by the JOC Cockpit to generate a Microsoft Excel^®-compatible export file for reporting purposes.
  • In the Audit Log file:
    • It is intended that this instance is archived and used as a compliance record. System Administrators can make a copy of this instance available to operating staff if the DBMS should not be available. 
    • The Audit Log file is named JOCAuditLog.log and saved in
      • the
      .
      • jetty_base/logs folder on Linux systems and on Windows where jetty_base is the directory containing the Jetty web server configuration files as described in the JOC Cockpit - Installation article.
• All new entries will be added to the Audit Log - neither the log file not the DMBS records are overwritten.
  • System administrators have to arrange an archiving and housekeeping system for the Audit Log file according to relevant compliance laws and corporate governance.
  • It is the responsibility of system administrators to check compliance requirements such as the retention period for the information contained in the Audit Log file.
• The Audit Log is visible in the JOC Cockpit to:
  • Users with the appropriate permissions. The specification of user permissions is described in the Authentication and Authorization - Configuration article. 
    
    • The default authorization permissions for the Audit Log which are configured for the JOC Cockpit are listed in the Permissions Matrix shown in the Authentication and Authorization - Permissions for the JOC Cockpit Web Service article.  
  • System Administrators with access to the DBMS used by the JOC Cockpit or the file system where the Audit Log file is written.
• The Audit Log is read-only for all JOC Cockpit users - only System Administrators that have access to both the file system and to the database can modify the log.
