Security Event Log from System Monitor

This log contains records about events related to the addition, deletion, and other changes made to user permissions. The logging of security events is disabled by default. This feature can only be enabled by the system administrator directly in a FlexiCapture database. For detailed information about various events recorded in the log and how to enable it, please see the Security event log article in the Administration and Monitoring Console help.

Important !Only users with System Administrator permissions can download security event logs from System Monitor. A System Administrator is the Administrator of a default tenant.

To download this log, use a POST request.

POST https://<server address>/FlexiCapture12/Monitoring/Tenant/GetSecurityEventsCSV

To do this: In browser menu click More tools -> Developer tools and go to the Network tab. Launch the Administration and Monitoring Console, go to System Monitor → Security event log, and click the button. Specify filtering criteria and click Apply. Click on GetFilteredSecurityEvent request. Filtering parameters will be listed on Payload tab.
columnsOrder	string	List of columns that should be added to the report. Possible values are: ID Date EventType Details RemoteHost Principal TenantName Writer WriterTenantName
sortColumnindex	int	Specifies the column that will be used to sort the records in the log.
sortOrder	bool	Specifies the order in which the records will be sorted: true will sort the records in descending order, false will sort the records in ascending order.
tenantId	int	Specifies the tenants for which records should be included into the event log. Possible values are: -1 – records for all available tenants will be included into the log. 0 – records for the default tenant will be included into the log. 1 and greater – records for the tenant with the specified ID only will be included into the log.
