Unfortunatly, AuditSurf is only compatible with Alfresco Enterprise 3.1 and 3.1.1 (will work on a V3.0 E with some glitches)
Otherwise, AuditSurf will need some changes to be compatible with Alfresco Entreprise 3.2.

Sincerly.

Are there any plans on making it compatible with 3.2 E and would that mean that it would also be compatible with 3.2 CE?

Re: AuditSurf

bertrandf — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:41:51 GMT

Yes we will make it 3.2 E compatible, but not 3.2 CE (but I will try to do a 3.2 CE version on my own).

Re: AuditSurf

gronfelt — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:28:37 GMT

Just out of curiosity, what are the main differences between E and CE that causes it not to work with CE?

Re: AuditSurf

bertrandf — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:11:11 GMT

The only difference is JMX (Enterprise Only feature), AuditSurf use JMX (System monitoring).

The 3.2 CE version is on the forge

Hi Bertrand,

I have tried to deploy AuditSurf (enterprise edition version) on an Alfresco 3.1.1 Enterprise release,
but I get the following error in our jboss server.log:

2009-09-22 07:35:26,625 INFO  [STDOUT] 07:35:26,625  ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Error loading class [com.atolcd.alfresco.audit.repo.AuditQueriesServiceImpl] for bean with name 'beanAuditQueriesService' defined in file [D:\jboss-4.2.1.GA\server\default\deploy\alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\com.atolcd.alfresco.audit\module-context.xml]: problem with class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file‍‍‍

Our jboss uses the following java version:

07:33:41,203 INFO  [ServerInfo] Java version: 1.5.0_16,Sun Microsystems Inc.
07:33:41,203 INFO  [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_16-b02,Sun Microsystems ‍‍

Seems like the AuditSurf classes were build on a newer java version.
Can you please tell me what version(s) are compatible with Auditsurf?

Best Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

AuditSurf was built with Java 1.6. We've never test it on Java 1.5.
I will try to compile it with a Java 1.5 and I'll PM it to you.

Sincerly.

Hi Bertrand,

I have managed to get AuditSurf with an amp build on jdk5 up and running. Alfresco runs fine. However when I try to logon with
the "admin" account on AuditSurf I get an error message pop-up stating:

Failed to login
The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized.‍‍

What connection is this about. Since I can logon to Alfresco with the same user ("admin" and appropriate password).
I have tried running both the alfresco.war and auditsurf.war on one localhost jboss server and running alfresco.war on jboss (port 80) and auditsurf.war on a separate tomcat (port 8080) install (both on localhost).

When submitting the usr/pwd info in the login screen of AuditSurf I see the following in the jboss console:

14:36:29,609 INFO  [HttpMethodDirector] I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused: connect
14:36:29,609 INFO  [HttpMethodDirector] Retrying request

I have set up Auditsurf with NTLM.

I already had share with NTLM working, build 2198, so basically included the same NTLM filter configuration in web.xml, but Igot "SEVERE: Error filterStart" so I realized that there was a problem with packaged jar files under WEB-INF/lib.

I had to copy alfresco-jlan-embed-3.2.jar and alfresco-web-framework-3.2.jar working files from share to auditsurf and it fixed the bug.

Re: AuditSurf

alexr — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:11:49 GMT

Got AuditSurf up and running on Alfresco 3.1.1
Had some port 8080 settings left in the webscript config file (changed those to port 80 since I am running the app on port 80).

Furthermore using the 3.1.1 version of the mmt tool on the auditsurf.amp file led to it not being deployed, although
the -list option said that the amp had been deployed.

Instead I copied the files from the .amp file manually to the correct directories inside alfresco.war.

First impression: It looks great. Still has to test it a bit more serious though.

Thanks for your help Bertrand.

Regards,

Alex

Can AuditSurf show the current users loggin in through CIFS or webscripts as wel? Or does it only monitor users loggin in via the Explorer?

Kind Regards

Here are the steps I took use AuditSurf on the Ubuntu Community package:


sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat stop

wget http://dl.alfresco.com/release/community/build-2039/alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar?dl_file=release/community/build-2039/alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar -O alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar

wget http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/783/auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zip

unzip auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zip

sudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war  auditsurf.amp

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco

sudo cp auditsurf.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Re: AuditSurf

newmember — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:37:21 GMT

I made one correction, thanks it worked for me.
I had to move the auditsurf.amp infront of the alfresco.war file

New:

sudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install auditsurf.amp /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war‍

Old:

sudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war  auditsurf.amp‍

Correct:

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat stop

wget http://dl.alfresco.com/release/community/build-2039/alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar?dl_file=release/community/build-2039/alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar -O alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar

wget http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/783/auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zip

unzip auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zip

sudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install auditsurf.amp /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war  

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco

sudo cp auditsurf.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
