The Metacat servlet provides an 'action' for retrieving a log of the
|
| 32 |
|
|
events that have occurred, including document insertions, updates,
|
| 33 |
|
|
deletes, and reads. This allows a simple reporting facility where
|
| 34 |
|
|
event reports can be output in XML format. The report can be subset to
|
| 35 |
|
|
only include events from a particular IP address, user, event type,
|
| 36 |
|
|
after a start date, or before an end date.
|
| 37 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 38 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 39 |
|
|
The basic log can be viewed using the <code>getlog</code> servlet
|
| 40 |
|
|
action, as in the following URL:<br>
|
| 41 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog</code>
|
| 42 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 43 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 44 |
|
|
This will return an XML formatted log of all events since the log was
|
| 45 |
|
|
initiated, which can be quite extensive. To subset the report, provide
|
| 46 |
|
|
parameters to restrict the set of matching events:
|
| 47 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 48 |
|
|
<li>ipAddress -- restrict the report to this ipAddress (repeatable)</li>
|
| 49 |
|
|
<li>principal -- restrict the report to this principal (repeatable)</li>
|
| 50 |
|
|
<li>docid -- restrict the report to this docid (repeatable)</li>
|
| 51 |
|
|
<li>event -- restrict the report to this event type (repeatable)
|
| 52 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 53 |
|
|
<li><code>insert</code></li>
|
| 54 |
|
|
<li><code>update</code></li>
|
| 55 |
|
|
<li><code>delete</code></li>
|
| 56 |
|
|
<li><code>read</code></li>
|
| 57 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 58 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 59 |
|
|
<li>start -- restrict the report to events after this date
|
| 60 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 61 |
|
|
<li><code>YYYY-MM-DD+hh:mm:ss</code></li>
|
| 62 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 63 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 64 |
|
|
<li>end -- restrict the report to events before this date
|
| 65 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 66 |
|
|
<li><code>YYYY-MM-DD+hh:mm:ss</code></li>
|
| 67 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 68 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 69 |
|
|
</ul>

Some example queries follow. To view only the 'read' events, use a url like:<br>
|
| 73 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&event=read</code>
|
| 74 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 75 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 76 |
|
|
To view only the events for a particular IP address, use a url like:<br>
|
| 77 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&ipaddress=107.9.1.31</code>
|
| 78 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 79 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 80 |
|
|
To view only the events for a given user, use a url like:<br>
|
| 81 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&principal=uid=johndoe,o=NCEAS,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org</code>
|
| 82 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 83 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 84 |
|
|
To view only the events for a particular document, use a url like:<br>
|
| 85 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&docid=knb.5.1</code>
|
| 86 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 87 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 88 |
|
|
To view only the events after a given date, use a url like:<br>
|
| 89 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&start=2004-09-15+12:00:00</code>
|
| 90 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 91 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 92 |
|
|
To view only the events before a given date, use a url like:<br>
|
| 93 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&end=2004-09-15+12:00:00</code>
|
| 94 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 95 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 96 |
|
|
Query parameters can be combined, so to view the 'insert' events for September 2004 use a url like:<br>
|
| 97 |
|
|
<code>http://some.metacat.host/context/metacat?action=getlog&event=insert&start=2004-09-01+12:00:00&end=2004-09-30+23:59:59</code>
|
| 98 |
|
|
</p>

The log is returned in XML format. Here is an example log format:<br>
