GameDB2 User Manual - Activity Log

Description


GameDB maintains a log of changes made to data in the system. The log contains information on the user that made the change, when they made it, and even the IP address they were using at the time the change was made.

You can use the activity log to track what users are doing in the system, or even to check and see when changes have been made.

In addition to this, GameDB logs messages into the activity log any time a user attempts to perform some action that they do not have the required permission to perform. Since GameDB does not provide users a way to perform actions that they are not allowed to perform, this is usually an indication that someone has attempted to circumvent the security of the system somehow.

Viewing the log


To view the contents of the activity log, simply select "Activity Log" from the main menu.

The entire contents of the activity log is displayed, starting with the most recent entry and going backwards until the first entry in the log.

Emptying the log


From the activity log display page, a button is provided that allows you to empty the contents of the activity log. You will be asked to confirm the action before the clear takes place. After the activity log is cleared, an entry is added to make note of the fact.

The activity log may only be cleared by users who have the proper permission.
