Monitoring Apps

Administrators can effectively monitor and manage the state of all processes within Joget. This includes tracking performance, auditing user actions, checking process completion statuses, and analyzing system health. Key monitoring tools include the Audit Trail, Governance Health Check, and log viewers.

The Monitor menu provides access to tools and logs that help administrators oversee and manage Joget processes and system performance.

Audit trail

The Audit Trail logs actions performed by users across the system. This feature is important for tracking user activities, ensuring compliance, and auditing changes within the system. Connected apps in Joget DX 8 create logs based on network events, capturing a sequence of activities or specific events.

Log of action includes:

• Timestamp: Specific time of the performed scenario.
• Username: Individual username of the task.
• Method: Methodology used, such as updating, modifying, etc.
• Message: Specific ID, version, status, etc.
• Class: Defines the Java class mentioned in the backend code.
