How to use the auditing sample files

Auditing sample files are distributed in the ./tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/audit directory. You can enable them in order to explore auditing.

There are two sample files in ./tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/audit:

• SkyVault-audit-example-extractors.xml.sample
• SkyVault-audit-example-login.xml.sample

In order to use a sample file, remove the .sample extension. It is also assumed you have enabled auditing. You will also need to restart the server so the examples are loaded.

Once the sample files are enabled you can check the status and response:

curl -u admin:password "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/audit/control"
{
   "enabled" : true,
   "applications": 
   [
      {
         "name": "SkyVault Sync Service",
         "path" : "/sync",
         "enabled" : true
      }
         ,
      {
         "name": "SkyVault Tagging Service",
         "path" : "/tagging",
         "enabled" : true
      }
         ,
      {
         "name": "AuditExampleExtractors",
         "path" : "/auditexampleextractors",
         "enabled" : true
      }
         ,
      {
         "name": "AuditExampleLogin1",
         "path" : "/auditexamplelogin1",
         "enabled" : true
      }
         ,
      {
         "name": "AuditExampleLogin2",
         "path" : "/auditexamplelogin2",
         "enabled" : true
      }
         ,
      {
         "name": "alfresco-access",
         "path" : "/alfresco-access",
         "enabled" : true
      }
         
   ]
}

    

You see that AuditExampleExtractors and AuditExample Login applications have been enabled. In this example the SkyVault-access application is also enabled.

Samples can also be downloaded directly from the following location in svn:
