You can select which types of user-related activity are logged in the database, and available for reporting in the Activity trails task.

Before you begin

The data for Activity logging is saved to the Directory database. If you are using the Express edition of SQL Server, which has a storage limit, make sure that it has enough available space. Enable Disk space and Database usage notifications for the Directory in Server Admin to warn you when space on the database is running low. We recommend that you configure the Database usage value to 90% or less, to give you enough time to take action.

What you should know

The activities you can log are events that are generated by users who connected to Security Center.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task.
  2. Click the General settings view, and then go to the Activity trails page.
  3. From the list, select the events to monitor.
    You can select general events, or events specifically related to video, access control, or ALPR.
  4. Click Apply.

Results

You can now search for events in your system that were triggered by users, using the Activity trails task.
