Activity log (logs)

In the Administration module, the Activity log screen displays the log entries available for the account when the logs option is active. The retention depth is defined with the Omniscol team according to the school's contract and can be adjusted on request. The panel is used to browse and export the traces present in the log stream.

What is logged

The log records the actions that modify the account, not every view.

  • Every change to the data (user record, timetable, settings…) — creation, update or deletion — generates an entry with its author, the action and the timestamp.
  • Logins — every login attempt records the identifier used.
  • Password actions — setting, changing, deleting or resetting a password is traced: the action and its author, never the password itself.
  • Exports — the JSON export of the account is logged.

Simple views (opening a screen, listing data) are not recorded, apart from a few sensitive operations. The log therefore answers "who did what and when", not "who viewed what".

What the screen displays

Each line can contain:

  • a timestamp;
  • the action performed;
  • the resolved route when it is known;
  • the recorded parameters and extras;
  • the HTTP method;
  • the associated web URL;
  • the user concerned.

The exact content depends on what Omniscol has logged: the screen reflects the traces present in the account's log stream.

Search and export

When the list contains enough entries, a local search lets you filter the table. The Timestamp button opens an exportable view of the lines.

Scope of the logs

  • Each line gives the action performed, the route, the parameters and the user concerned; the detail covers what Omniscol has logged.
  • Retention depends on the option enabled on the account and on the periodic cleanup of the logs.
  • The logs are viewed and exported from this screen; Omniscol does not automatically forward them to an external monitoring tool.

To precisely reconstruct the state of an account at a given date, combine the logs with backup points.

What to check in a contract

The retention depth, the audit obligations and the expected exports are covered by the contract and the security documents provided on request. This page does not replace those documents.
