The System Information page displays details about each Entuity server you are running. From here you can also access specific system performance and health information, audit logs and the ENA data dictionary.

 

To view system information:

  1. In the Main Menu, click System Information.
  2. This will open the System Information page.

 

To configure the columns in the system information table:

  1. On the System Information page, go to the Overflow Menu and click Configure Columns.
  2. This will open the Configure Columns form. Select the columns you want to display, and drag them into the order that you want.
  3. Click Save in the top right of the form to save, otherwise click Cancel.
  4. You can sort the columns into ascending or descending order by clicking on the column heading. You can also change the width of each column by dragging left or right on the column dividers.

 

To access specific system performance and health information

To show audit logs

The Audit Log provides a central point for viewing and analyzing actions performed on ENA.

By default, ENA maintains audit log entries for 60 days, after which entries are deleted. You can amend this time period through entuity.cfg and the variable auditLogKeepTime.

You can access the Audit Log if you are an Administrator or have the View Audit Log tool permission.

  1. On the System Information page, click Show Audit Logs in the top right of the browser or via the Overflow Menu.
  2. The Audit Log page will open.
  3. Click here for help on how to configure, export, filter and sort the table on the Audit Log page.
The available columns are as follows:
 
Column Name Column Description
ID audit entry identifier. When different rows share the same ID, it means an action has been applied to multiple objects of the same type at the same time, e.g. multiple devices selected and added to a View at the same time.
Time time and date on the Entuity server when the audit entry was made.
Category indicates the general category to which the action is related.
Action

indicates the action type, one of:

  • Add - e.g. creation of new user account, taking a new device under management.
  • Add Reference - adding a View to another View by reference.
  • Copy - copying a View to another View.
  • Delete - e.g. removing a user account, deleting a report schedule.
  • Delete Reference - when a referenced View is deleted from a View.
  • Move - moving a View to another View.
  • Resume - resuming a suspended report schedule.
  • Suspend - suspending a report schedule.
  • Modify - if a device is modified.
  • Execute - configuration manager jobs are executed.
Context context in which ENA performs the action, e.g. if a particular threshold is modified then that particular threshold is the source context of the action; or the object on which the action occurred.
Details indicates the details of the action. If the action results in changes, then - and + symbols are used ('From' and 'To' respectively) to indicate the direction of change, e.g. if a device is added to a View, then ENA reports the change as (for example) + ManagedHost: saturn.
User

owner of the action. When the action is executed through:

  • the web UI, it is the name of the ENA user.
  • the command line, it is set to system.
  • a script, then the name of the user is left blank.
Server Entuity server on which the action was performed.
Source

origin of the action. When the source is:

  • Web - the action was initiated through the web UI, e.g. adding a device through the Inventory page.
  • proliferate - the action was initiated by running proliferate from the command line, e.g. adding a device.
  • DsKernelStatic - the action was performed by DsKernelStatic, which is usually initiatewd from the web UI but can also be called by RESTful API when managing Views.

 

To show the data dictionary

The ENA Data Dictionary provides descriptions for all StormWorks object types, streams and associations.

  1. On the System Information page, click Show Data Dictionary in the top right of the browser or via the Overflow Menu.
  2. This will open the Data Dictionary page.
