Log file

The log file lists the text that the user entered, together with the name of the script that performed the logging. All the search fields are shown as follows:

Time
Domain\Username
Subject
Author
Content
Recipient
Date From
Date To
Expired Date From
Expired Date To
Document Type
Retention category
Location

The log files are Unicode, in comma-separated value (CSV) format, and are named as follows:

archive-name_YYYY-MM-DD.csv

An underscore (_) replaces any character in the archive name that is not valid in a file name. For example, for the archive Finance 00/07/11, the filename for the 17th April 2002 would be Finance 00_07_11_2002-04-17.csv.

New log files are created at midnight, so each log contains the searches for one day. If no searches are done, no log is created.

If you open the current log file the Web Access application is unable to write to the file, so logging stops while the file is open. If you want to view the log file, copy the file and then open the copy.
