Add an event logger

Configure an Event logger to display the stored values in a table.
Prerequisites
Create a database for the event logger. See Create an embedded database or Create an ODBC database.
  1. To add an event logger
  2. In
    Project view
    , right-click
    Loggers
     and select
    New
    Event logger
    .
  3. To store the translations of the localized strings in the database1, in
    Locales
    , enter the locale IDs.
    For example, enter
    en-US
    .
  4. To add an event configuration and log events of interest:
    1. In
      Properties
      , next to
      Event configurations
      , select
      Add
      .
    2. Under
      EventConfiguration
      #
      , set
      Event source
      .
      Source
      Event source
       value
      Listen subtree
       value
      Any project object:
      (no value)
      True
      A node/object and all its child objects:
      Dynamic link (parent node/object)
      True
      A specific project object:
      Dynamic link (specific object)
      False
    3. In
      Event type
      , select the event of interest type.
      TIP: Consider creating a dedicated event logger for audit event types.
    4. In the editor, select the variables to log and select
      Apply
      .
      IMPORTANT:
      When selecting a variable to log, a dynamic link is automatically set under
      Event fields to log
      . The dynamic link points to the automatically selected corresponding event argument. If the event argument does not represent the data of interest, select a different attribute in the
      Dynamic link
       dialog box.
      You can combine multiple event arguments by using dynamic links or converters (for example, a string formatter).
    5. To log only the events generated by user interactions with the application, set
      Non-interactive sessions excluded
       to
      True
      .
  5. In
    Database
    , select the database to store the selected properties.
