Viewing Events

Overview

The Events tables allow a user with proper privileges (the manage-events role, assigned to eleveo.admin by default) to view the login and admin events log from within UI.

To view the events, click Events within the navigation tree on the left. The Events screen will display.

Use the drop-down menu in the top right corner to select how many events should be displayed on the page.

Click Filter in the top right corner to expand the filtering options.

Login Events

All access-related activities performed by users (for example login, logout, requesting a token, etc.) are recorded for auditing purposes in the table on the Login Events tab.

Login Events can be viewed by:

any user with the manage-events role (eleveo.admin by default) – in the User Management admin console (Events > Login Events tab)
any user with the VIEW_AUDIT permission for QM (default_ccmanager by default) – in the Quality Management console (Administration > Audit Log)

The table contains all logged events and their details:

Time – exact time of the event
Event Type – type of the event (for example LOGIN, LOGOUT etc.)
Details:
- Client – ID of the client to which the user is connecting
- User – IP of the user
- IP address – IP address from which the user is connecting
- Details – Further details about the token

Admin Events

All actions performed by any user with enough privileges to complete these actions within the admin console are recorded for auditing purposes in the table on the Admin Events tab.

The table contains all logged events and their details:

Time – exact time of the event
Operation Type – type of the event (for example CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE, etc.)
Resource Type – resource which is affected by the event (for example USER, GROUP, etc.)
Resource Path – path to the affected resource

As a result of running the synchronization of users, all the following events are logged:

For each of the imported users, the events of user creation, assigning group membership and role mapping are logged:

Clicking the Representation button displays the details in a JSON format:

Configuration

The Events settings are configured automatically during the realm registration process so that there is no need to change them or configure them manually. To ensure that Events are set as required, ensure that they are configured in the following way:

Event Listeners selected:
- keycloak-audit-log-provider
- keycloak-amqp-event-provider
- jboss-logging
- keycloak-event-provider
in the Login Events Settings section:
- Save Events: ON
in the Admin Events Settings section:
- Save Events: ON
- Include Representation: ON

The above configuration ensures that activities triggered from within User Management (Login Events) will be included in the Audit Log in Quality Management. Read more about using Audit Log.

Events Cleanup

It can be useful to configure an expiration period for Login and Admin Events. Expired events will be automatically deleted from the database to avoid consuming too much space. By default, expiration is not set (events are not deleted).

To configure the expiration period, go to the Config tab and set the Expiration values for Login Events and Admin Events (separately). Then click Save.
