Log structure

The structure of the log data is standardized and usually includes the following fields:

FIELD DESCRIPTION
Date The exact time the event occurred. The time and date are displayed based on the time zone of your Flexopus instance.
Subject The subject of the log entry.
Description The description of the event gives you more information about the nature of the event. To see more details, some of the logs provide a detailed view when you click on the more details in the action column.
Initiator The user who initiated the event.
Action They show more details, if possible, based on the type of log entry.

Examples:

Log retention period

The log data is stored by default for 180 days. The automated deletion of older log data takes place automatically. You do not need to make any changes to the settings for this. However, you can increase or decrease the log retention period by navigating in Flexopus as an administrator to `Dashboard > Settings > Data privacy settings > Deletion concept. There you can find an option Application log retention period, which is set by default to 180 day.

Log retention period

The global anonymization settings of bookings of your organization are also taken into account for the log data. The bookings are displayed anonymously in the list after the anonymization period., which is may set to a shorter time period than the log retention period.


Server logs

Flexopus also stores server logs, which are different from the mentioned application logs. The server logs are for example development logs to detect exceptions, 500 error, integration errors etc.

Additionally, every time the application is accessed by a client device, the booking system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:
name of the retrieved file
date and time of the retrieval
volume of data transferred
message about successful retrieval
web browser
IP address

This usage data is used mainly for security reasons, for example to detect a DDoS attack on the server, or filter bad users.

The server logs are not visible in the application.
