Action Log

As an institution admin, you will now be able to view a log of operations of your institution and courses. This can be useful for;

  • verifying that the right people are doing the right things (SIEM compliance)

  • being able to see who did what (attributable action reporting, cybersecurity risk alleviation)

  • being able to explain a sequence of events that took place and understand why an issue occurred

  • being able to verify a chain of events for support queries

  • debugging API-made admin requests and differentiating API-made and human-made admin actions


Go to Institution Settings > Data > Action Log.

You will see a table of actions, with the most recent action on top. The log will include Institution, Course, and API actions.

Please note that it may take a while (approximately 5 to 10 minutes) for the records to show up on the log.
 

Actions taken by OL staff will be marked as OpenLearning System in the table. However, you will be able to see the details of the user (Actor) when from the action summary.

Please refer to the table here for the full list of actions that are currently available.

You can apply filters to the log and export records of the filtered results. You can filter by;

  • User name, email, or institution ID
  • Action type - portal, course, or via API
  • Actions performed (refer to the full list here).
  • Time range (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, custom)
  • Advanced filters
    • Course title or course ID (for course and institution action type)
    • Class title or class ID (for course and institution action type)
    • Any (for all - course, institution, API)
    • API specific filters;
      • Request method
      • Response URL
      • Response code
      • Request content types

Note: You can also select All Courses by leaving the course title/course ID field empty.

 

You can click on the individual logs to see the full details of the action, including the actor and course details.

These data can be exported for individual actions, or you can export them all at once. The current export option is via CSV or JSON.


The action log will display data from up to 3 months ago. To access data from more than 3 months ago, kindly send in a request to our Customer Success team via email at support@openlearning.com
