Detecting Actions

riadhazzouz — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 07:34:57 GMT

How can I detect what users do and save it after they login from the share.For example when someone add a file, is there a way to save this action into a model, then to the database ? Is there any traces to the different actions ?

Hi Riadh Azzouz‌,

Alfresco has a out-of-the-box audit module for reporting the actions which users execute over the nodes.

You can read how to activate it in the next link

Thank you Sergio,

Are there any other ways to detect events, like java functions ? Then, I will run some Behavior based on these events.

Regards.

Yes, it’s possible to listen events of nodes (for example, when nodeis created or when aspect is added to node) with behaviours. Nevertheless, I don’t recommend you this option because you will have to listen several action of all nodes of your system, so performance can be affected.

Hi,

There are some policies/behaviors that are triggers during action like create node,copy node,delete node etc.

Behaviors/Policies | Alfresco Documentation

It is recommended to to audit module for reporting purpose.

Audit Log | Alfresco Documentation

There is 1 dashlet available which is giving some basic data.

GitHub - share-extras/audit-dashlet: Display audit events for any given audit application

If you want some details data using audit then you can try AAAR.
