Some clarifications on jBPM audit logging

[aldray]

hi all,

On the jBPM datasheet pdf, it says "The process engine automatically
handles state, variable, and task management as well
as process timers and audit logging across all active processes."

May i know where exactly
1. How can we turn on the audit logging?
2. Where is the audit logs stored in the jBPM?

So far i realise there's a jbpm_log table in the schema but dont find it much use. And audit logging is not referring to log4 also.

Hope to hear from the Experts soon.

Regards,

Hi, btw i would like to know the following also:-

1. if there are existing Reporting Tools for viewing the audit trail logs.

2. Any existing KPI functionalities within jBPM that i can use without having to code it myself.

3. Any documentations on jBPM BAM -> SeeWhy. tutorial on how to integrate.

Thanks!

1. logging is tunred on by adding

<service name='logging' factory='org.jbpm.logging.db.DbLoggingServiceFactory' />

to the jbpm.cfg.xml

2. In the database, in the table JBPM_LOG. All process activity is stored there. Try to use the Hibernate LogInstance class and subclasses to make reading the data there a bit easier.

3. No existing tools atm

4. No, you will have to code it yourself

5. There is an excellent document (+70pages), but I can't seem to find it on the SeeWhy website. Perhaps you should email them (that's how I got the document)

Hi jbarrez,

thanks for your clarifications.

For 5, the documents that you requested, is it because you requested from the basis of a purchased enterprise version? or are you using their community version?

I used the community versions.
