Edit an event logger

You edit an event logger in the central pane and
Properties
.
Prerequisites
  1. To edit an event logger:
  2. In
    Project view
    , double-click an event logger object.
  3. To change the variables to log, in the editor, expand categories to select or clear variable checkboxes and then 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).
  4. To change the event logger properties, in
    Properties
    , set:
    • Enabled
      :
      • True
        . The logger logs events.
      • False
        . The logger does not log events.
    • Locales
      . The translations of localized strings stored in the database based on the locale IDs (for example,
      en-US
      ).
    • Database
      . The database that records the logger data.
  5. 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 central pane, select the variables to log and select
      Apply
      .
      IMPORTANT:
      When selecting a variable to log, a dynamic link is automatically set under

      Dynamic link
       dialog box.
      You can combine multiple event arguments by using dynamic links or converters (for example, a string formatter).
