As a Site Manager, logs are available throughout the site. There may be times when Site Managers (Or those with the necessary permissions) need to investigate certain actions within the system - this could be due to performance issues, or prompted by a Trainer or Learner experiencing issues.
There are two main ways this can be done:
- Using system logs
- By creating reports using the log source
Using System Logs
Within LMS a Site Manager can set parameters to review logs, showing actions taken on the system, by going to Site Administration> Server > Logs. You can also view live logs, to see what is currently happening on the system by going to Site Administration> Server > Live logs. Both of these logs give Site Administrators the ability to review actions from across the system.
Trainers can access similar logs on a course-only basis from the Administration block on each course.
Creating custom Log Reports
If you are looking to report on something specific then it is also possible to create a custom report using the report builder tool using the Site logs report source.
Go to Site administration > Reports.
Select the Create report button.
Give the report a name and choose the Site logs report source.
Select the Create report button.
Complete the setting, including choosing which Columns you want to include (remember to click Save changes before moving between tabs).
