System Logs

Overview

This page provides guidance on how system administrators can use the different types of log files that Appian produces to assess performance, analyze usage, troubleshoot issues, and audit activity.

Monitoring performance and usage

Performance logs are written to the APPIAN_HOME/logs/perflogs directory. These logs are written in CSV files for easy observation and analysis using common spreadsheet tools. The information in them can be used to learn the broad spectrum of what actions take place in the system and how long those actions take to complete.

The log files include one for each Appian engine written to every minute (Engine Performance Logs) and up to three kinds of logs for various events written by the application server which include the following:

• Summary: Enabled by default. Written to once every five minutes and aggregate all the relevant events since the last line was logged into one set of metrics. One line is written per update, even if there were no events in the given interval.
• Details: Enabled by default. Written to once every hour, and while they have similar information to the summary logs, they provide fine-grain aggregation by type of event. Multiple lines are written per update, but if no events occurred in the given interval then nothing is written.
• Trace: Disabled by default. When enabled, updates every time an event occurs with in-depth information about the event in question. Trace logs are disabled by default because they require a greater and less predictable amount of disk space and they contain potentially sensitive human-entered data such as usernames.

Some events have certain phases of their execution separately timed. These "phase times" are parts of the total time, but the total time is not necessarily covered completely by the phase times. Even if an event has measured phases, it may not record a time for that phase. Logs that contain phases have individual counts for each phase to show how many of the total recorded events actually participated.

Data store performance logs

These logs record the operations of querying data in a data store using query rules, writing data via the Write to Data Store Entity Smart Service, and verifying current information in the data store. These three types of data store operations (Query, Write, Verify) can include the following three phases:

• Prepare: Formatting the RDBMS call.
• Execute: Waiting to hear back from the RDBMS.
• Transform: Processing the results received from the RDBMS.

Not all operations involve all three phases. For example, Verify operations do not go through a Transform phase.

In order to aid the identification of slow operations, a separate log file with the same columns records a duplicate entry of only those operations that take more than three seconds to complete. If three seconds is not an appropriate threshold for what qualifies as a slow query, it can be adjusted using the property conf.monitoring.rdbms.SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD_MS in custom.properties, which takes an integer value in milliseconds.

Engine summary log

This file contains information about the status of each engine server. It is written every five minutes to engine_summary.csv, but unlike other summary logs, one line is written for each configured engine. If there is more than one server hosting Appian engines, the log is written only on the server configured first in appian-topology.xml.

Event targets and messages are multiplied to calculate the total number of events. For example, when three messages are received (Event Received) by two receive message events in three process instances, the total number of event Consumers Received is 18 (323).
Work Queue - Event Consumers to Process	Number of receive message events waiting to be processed.

Process execution logs

These files contain information about the performance of processes on the Appian engines. The data is measured and written in batches, every 5 minutes, to files named according to the convention top_models_by_time_<ENGINE-ACRONYM>_<TIMESTAMP>.csv and top_processes_by_time_<ENGINE-ACRONYM>_<TIMESTAMP>.csv, where the engine acronyms follow the same convention as the engine performance logs above. These logs can provide additional insight into process resource usage and are best used in conjunction with the perf_monitor_db logs.

For example, you can use the perf_monitor_db log to determine when there may be a timeframe that the CPU idle time % dips to an undesirable level. Both the top_models_by_time and top_processes_by_time logs can then be used to determine which processes or models consumed the most resources during this same timeframe. The models or processes with high "Percent of Interval (%)" values in this specific measured interval are the most resource intensive processes, indicating potential room for design adjustments.

Top Models (top_models_by_time.csv)

Metrics include the following:

Metric	Description

Execution by category logs

These files contain information around background timers of the Appian engines, which are not specific to process models or processes. They are written every 5 minutes to files named according to the convention execution_by_category_<ENGINE-ACRONYM>_<TIMESTAMP>.csv, where the engine acronyms follow the same convention as the engine performance logs above. Metrics include the following:

Expressions performance logs

These log files provide performance measurements on the building blocks of Appian expressions: functions and rules.

Rules can contain both functions and/or other rules. In such cases, the measured time of the main rule will include that of any nested rules and/or functions.

The trace and summary logs measure the usage of Appian functions, rules, and custom plug-in functions together to make it easier to debug issues or check the health of your overall system. However, Appian functions are measured in a separate details log from rules and custom plug-in functions to make it easier to distinguish between the usage of your objects and Appian functions.

Trace file metrics (expressions_trace.csv)

Metric	Description
Timestamp	Date and time of the expression evaluation.
Name	Name of the function or rule.

User	UUID of user who invoked the function or rule.
Thread	ID of the thread the function or rule was evaluated on.
Individual Time (ms)	Total time evaluating the function or rule excluding the time to evaluate its inputs. For example, given that rule!getDistinctItems(items: rule!getAllItems()) has a Total Time of 100ms and rule!getAllItems has a Total Time of 80ms, then rule!getDistinctItems has an Individual Time of 20ms.
Called By Rule	Name of the rule that called the object specified in Name. This value will be blank for top-level rules and internal functions.

Slow Plug-in Function metrics (plugin_functions_slow.csv)

This log displays all plug-in functions that take longer than 5 seconds to complete or have a result size over 100,000 AMUs. Plug-in functions that show up in this log should be investigated to determine if the performance is expected or can be improved. Long running plug-in functions can correlate with high memory usage which causes a site's overall performance to degrade.

Metric	Description
Timestamp	Date and time when the metric is taken.
User UUID	UUID of user who invoked the plug-in function.
Function	Name of the plug-in function.
Evaluation Type	The type of object that contains the expression. Possible values: record list, record view, report, start form, task form, related action (process start), related action (quick task), process node, web API, internal, interface designer.

Record Instance ID	For evaluation types of record view, the record identifier (rv!identifier).
Record View URL Stub	For evaluation types of record view, the record view URL stub.
Process Instance ID	For evaluation types of start form, task form, related action, or process node, the process instance's ID (pp!id).
Task ID	For evaluation types of task form, the task's ID (tp!id).
Total Time (ms)	Total time spent evaluating the plug-in function.
Result Size	Size of the value returned by the plug-in function measured in AMUs. Large result sizes can have an impact on memory usage and should be investigated to determine if such a large result is expected or needed. However, a plug-in can still use a large amount of memory even if the result size is small. For example, a plug-in function that searches all document folders for a single file can use a lot of memory even if the result size is small.

Search server metrics log

The Search server metrics log file (search_server.csv) provides information on the search server component of the Appian architecture. This information is written by an agent within the application server, so in a multiple application server environment this log will be written on each application server running rather than the machine(s) running the search server (if separate).

If there is an error when connecting to the search server to gather the metrics, the values in the numeric columns will be -1 and the text-based columns will have an error message or be blank.

All of the total Count and Time columns are calculated since the last startup of the search server. Restarting the application server running the search server will cause these values to reset to 0 in the next write to the log.

The full set of metrics are as follows:

Metric	Description
Timestamp	Date and time when the metric is taken.
Node UUID	Unique identifier of the node to which this row of metrics belongs.
Node Name	Name of the node to which this row of metrics belongs.
Host	Hostname of the server running the node.
Transport Address	IP address and port on which the node of the search server is listening.
Document Count	Number of non-deleted documents in all indices combined.

Disk Throttling Time (ms)	Amount of time in milliseconds the search server spent throttling the disk I/O since the last startup. This can happen when the writes overwhelm the disk I/O. A rapidly increasing number can be indicative of insufficient disk speed.
Active Indexing Count	Number of items that are being indexed at the current time.
Indexing Count	Total number of items indexed.
Indexing Time (ms)	Total amount of time in milliseconds that the search server spent indexing since the last startup. The ratio of index count to index time can give you a sense of indexing efficiency. The difference between the current printout and the previous printout can give a more granular view of the current indexing health.
Indexing Queue Count	Number of work items in the indexing queue waiting to be processed.
Indexing Rejection Count	Number of work items that were rejected because the indexing queue was full.
Bulk Indexing Queue Count	Number of work items in the bulk indexing queue waiting to be processed.
Bulk Indexing Rejection Count	Number of work items that were rejected because the bulk indexing queue was full.
Search Query Count	Total number of search queries performed.
Search Query Time (ms)	Total amount of time in milliseconds that the search server spent in search queries since the last startup.
Search Fetch Count	Total number of fetches that result from search queries.
Search Fetch Time (ms)	Total amount of time in milliseconds that the search server spent in fetching query results since the last startup. A fetch time that is greater than query time can be indicative of a slow disk.
Search Queue Count	Number of work items in the search queue waiting to be processed.
Search Rejection Count	Number of work items that were rejected because the search queue was full.
Active Merge Count	Number of merges that are taking place at the current time.
Merge Count	Total number of merges performed.
Merge Time (ms)	Amount of time the search server has spent merging since the last startup.
Merge Queue Count	Number of work items in the merge queue waiting to be processed.
Merge Rejection Count	Number of work items that were rejected because the merge queue was full.
Filter Cache Memory Size (MB)	Amount of memory used by the filter cache.
Filter Cache Evictions	Number of evictions that have taken place in the filter cache.
ID Cache Memory Size (MB)	Amount of memory used by the memory cache.
Field Data Memory Size (MB)	Amount of memory used by field data.
Field Data Evictions	Number of evictions field data. A value greater than 0 can be an indication of not enough memory is available to the search server.
Field Data Breaker Triggers	Number of times the circuit breaker has triggered for field data. This happens when the field data memory usage is greater than 15% of heap size. A value other than 0 means the JVM needs more memory to efficiently handle data queries.
Segment Count	Number of segments in the search index.
Segment Memory Size (MB)	Amount of memory used by segments.
Thread Count	Current number of threads used by JVM that is running the search server.
Thread Count Peak	Peak number of threads used by JVM that is running the search server.
Open File Descriptors	Number of file descriptors currently in use by JVM that is running the search server. It is not uncommon to have several thousand open file descriptors.
Used Heap Space (MB)	Amount of Java heap space (memory) used by JVM that is running the search server.
Used Heap Percentage	Percentage of the available Java heap space used by the JVM running the search server. A value approaching 100 indicates insufficient memory the JVM.
Available Heap Space (MB)	Total amount of Java heap space (memory) available to JVM that is running the search server. This is the value configured as max heap the JVM.
Young Collection Count	Number of Java garbage collections that have occurred in the young generation space for the JVM that is running the search server.

Tenured Collection Time (ms)	Amount of time spent in garbage collection for the tenured generation collections since the last search server startup.
Tenured Space Used (MB)	Amount of Java heap space (memory) used by the tenured (old) generation space for the JVM that is running the search server.

Search server cluster metrics log

The Search server cluster metrics log file (search_server_cluster.csv) provides information on the overall health of the search server cluster and the number of nodes and shards in the cluster. The information is written to the file even in environments where there is only a single search server node. In that case it is a cluster of one node. This information is written by an agent within the application server, so in a multiple application server environment this log will be written on each application server rather than the machine(s) running the search server (if separate).

If there is an error when connecting to the search server to gather the metrics, the values in the numeric columns will be -1 and the text-based columns will have an error message or be blank.

Metric	Description
Timestamp	Date and time when the metric is taken.
Cluster Name	Name of the search server cluster. The default cluster name is appian-search-cluster.
Status	Overall health status of the cluster. An error statement is printed to the status column if an error occurs while attempting to query the cluster health. GREEN - All of the configured nodes are up and running and all shards are allocated to those nodes. The search server can accept reads and writes. YELLOW - Some shards are not allocated to nodes, most likely because one or more of the configured nodes are unavailable. The search server can accept reads and writes. RED - The search server cluster no longer has a master node because fewer than half plus one of the configured nodes are available. The search server will continue to serve read requests, but will not be able to accept writes.
Timed Out	Whether or not the attempt to query the cluster health timed out. Possible value: true or false
Number of Nodes	Total number of nodes currently running in the cluster.
Number of Data Nodes	Number of nodes currently running in the cluster that can accept data, either as writes from the Appian EAR or as replicated data from other nodes.

Active Shards	Total number of shards that are active, including both primary and replica shards. This number is the number of active shards times the number of nodes in the cluster.
Relocating Shards	Number of shards that are in the process of moving from one node to another. It is important not to make changes to the search cluster while this number is non-zero.
Initializing Shards	Number of shards that are currently being initialized. This occurs when the indices are first created either at system startup or on first usage.
Unassigned Shards	Number of shards that are currently not assigned to any nodes. This number will be non-zero when one or more of the configured nodes is unavailable.

Troubleshooting

Log files are an important tool for troubleshooting system problems. Because logs are assumed to be only accessible by system administrators, information about problems arising from individual process models is made available through the interface and sent via notifications to the process designer. Information is written to logs about issues that affect the entire system, including those arising from the content of configuration files, availability of connections to other services, ability to interact with file system resources, and unexpected runtime errors.

Design error log

Expression errors in start forms, task forms, Tempo reports, record lists, record views, related actions, and Web APIs are written to a comma separated value (CSV) file (design_errors.csv) in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory. This log has the following columns:

Metric	Description

Site Application Name	For Site errors only, the name of the application that contains the Site where the error occurred. If the Site exists in multiple applications, the application names are displayed in a semicolon-delimited list. If the Site exists outside of an application, the value "N/A" is logged. If the error occurred in Tempo or Embedded, this column is null.

Portal error logs

These logs capture errors encountered by end-users for each portal published in a given environment. The logs are written to a CSV file (portal_errors.csv) located in the APPIAN_HOME/logs/perflogs/portals/ subdirectory, which can only be accessed by system administrators. This log is not available in self-managed environments.

Health Check log

Logs for Health Check are located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory. Health Check must be set up and configured on your environment in order for logging to take place.

The health-check.log file records details about Health Check runs and lists errors.

The <APPIAN_HOME>/logs/health-check directory contains files generated by the most recent Health Check run. These files can only be viewed by system administrators.

HTTP request/response logs

The HTTP request/response logs for integrations (integration_req_resp_activity.log) capture the raw HTTP request and response messages for integrations. These logs can be used for troubleshooting. They're located in the APPIAN_HOME/logs/perflogs/http-requests-and-responses/ subdirectory, which can only be accessed by system administrators.

Integration calls are only logged when they have been enabled in both the Admin Console and the individual integration objects. Developers can only turn on logging for integrations that use an HTTP or OpenAPI connected system.

Similarly, the HTTP request/response logs for web APIs (web_api_req_resp_activity.log) capture the raw HTTP request and response messages for web APIs. These logs can be used for troubleshooting. They're located in the APPIAN_HOME/logs/perflogs/http-requests-and-responses/ subdirectory, which can only be accessed by system administrators.

Web API calls are only logged when they have been enabled in both the Admin Console and the individual web API objects.

To view information about log rotation and retention, see Managing Log Files.

Deployment log

Logs for direct deployment are located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory. The deployment.log file records details about incoming and outgoing deployments from the environment. Deployment between environments in your infrastructure must be set up and enabled in order for logging to take place.

Application server

When the application server encounters an unexpected error, a message describing the error is logged to tomcat-stdOut.log in <APPIAN_HOME>/logs. Issues encountered during startup are written either to a separate file managed by the application server itself or to standard output.

You can refer to these files to acquire a specific error message and use it in a help ticket, News feed post, or documentation search as part of your troubleshooting.

For example, you may see the following error and report it:

The error means an unattended node, possibly one running a Custom Smart Service Plug-In, is taking an abnormally long time to complete.

Plug-in functions running during high system memory

When the application server enters a state of high memory usage (i.e. memory used is greater than 75%), an entry is logged to plugin_functions_running_during_high_system_memory.csv for each plug-in function running at that time. The goal of this log is to help identify why the application server's memory usage is so high. Plug-in functions are often the culprits of memory spikes, and therefore all of the plug-in functions running while the application server is in a state of high memory usage warrant investigation. Pay special attention to those plug-ins with the longest elapsed time since plug-ins functions with long evaluation times tend to use more memory as well.

Metric	Description
Timestamp	Date and time when the metric is taken.
User UUID	UUID of user who invoked the plug-in function.
Function	Name of the plug-in function.
Evaluation Type	The type of object that contains the plug-in function. Possible values: record list, record view, report, start form, task form, related action (process start), related action (quick task), process node, web API, internal, interface designer.
Object UUID	The UUID of the design object where the plug-in was evaluated. You can search for objects by UUID in Appian Designer.
Record Instance ID	For evaluation types of record view, the record identifier (rv!identifier).
Record View URL Stub	For evaluation types of record view, the record view URL stub.
Process Instance ID	For evaluation types of start form, task form, related action, or process node, the process instance's ID (pp!id).
Task ID	For evaluation types of task form, the task's ID (tp!id).
Elapsed Time (ms)	Total time spent evaluating the plug-in function from its start until the log entry occurred. This is not the plug-in function's entire evaluation time.

Data service

Logs for the data service are located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs/data-server/ directory. The watchdog.log file contains information about data service startup and shutdown, configuration values being used by the data service, and entries for general data service operations and errors. The other logs in the directory contain log entries specific to the various subcomponents of the data service.

The logs in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs/data-server directory do not contain any proprietary or sensitive data. In the event that sensitive data might be required to troubleshoot an issue with the data service, the data-server-client-errors-detail.log file in the <APPIAN_HOME/logs> directory will contain this information.

Search server

By default, logs for the search server are located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs/search-server/ directory. This can be controlled by editing <APPIAN_HOME>/search-server/conf/log4j.properties.

Service Manager

Service Manager, the process that coordinates the Appian Engines, records information about engine startup and shutdown, checkpointing, and transaction replication in /logs/service_manager.log.

Engine databases

Database communication events and errors are logged in text files within the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs/ directory.

Each database event and error log filename is constructed in the following syntax:

Examples:

Each database event and error log is written in the following syntax:

Examples:

Message Types include the following:

• te = transaction execution
• tg = table growth

By default, the logging level for all is set to INFO.

For diagnostic reasons, you may want to temporarily increase the amount of information that is logged. You can change this setting by creating a new log_XX_YY.properties file that configures logging for an individual gateway.

The logging property file names that can be used to customize logging for an individual application engine database include the following:

Server ID	Custom Server Logging File
CH Channels	log_db_CH.properties
CS Collaboration Statistics	log_db_CS.properties
CO Collaboration	log_db_CO.properties
NE Notifications Email	log_db_NE.properties
NO Notifications Service	log_db_NO.properties
PE Personalization	log_db_PE.properties
PO Portal	log_db_PO.properties
DF Discussion Forums	log_db_DF.properties
PA Process-Analytics	log_db_PA.properties
PX Process-Execution (All)	log_db_PX.properties
PD Process-Design	log_db_PD.properties

Engine event logs

The Appian engines produce .l files whenever they encounter certain types of unexpected events. These .l files contain diagnostic information about the event as well as the transaction that initiated it. The names of the .l files are all of the form <engine identifier>_<timestamp>_<event type>.l. Use the <APPIAN_HOME>/server/_scripts/diagnostic/convert_l_to_text.sh (.bat) script to convert these logs to text for review.

Name	Description	Recommended Action
incremental_update_error.l	Data could not replicate from a process execution engine to the corresponding process analytics engine, but the system should repair itself automatically	These errors are safe to ignore unless they continue. If the errors continue, contact Appian Support.
long_transaction_warning.l	A transaction took longer than 60 seconds for the engine to process	These errors are safe to ignore unless they continue, but this incident should be reported to Appian Support for diagnosis to help prevent future occurrences.
memory_spike_warning.l	A transaction resulted in the engine allocating more than 512 MB of memory	These errors are safe to ignore unless they continue. If the errors continue, contact Appian Support.
memory_spike_and_long_transaction_warning.l	A transaction resulted in the engine allocating more than 512 MB of memory and took longer than 60 seconds to process	These errors are safe to ignore unless they continue, but this incident should be reported to Appian Support for diagnosis to help prevent future occurrences.
replication_failure.l	A transaction could not replicate from the primary engine to a replica	Checkpoint the engine and restart the replica
rollback.l	The engine encountered an internal error when processing a transaction and had to restart	The automatic restart of the engine should allow the system to recover automatically, but this incident should be reported to Appian Support for diagnosis to help prevent future occurrences.
transaction_replay_error.l	The engine could not replay a transaction from its log when restarting	Contact Appian Support
write_to_disk_failure.l	The engine could not persist a transaction to disk and had to restart	Ensure that the engines have permissions to write to their gateway directory and that there is enough free disk space available.

Data type locks

The log for information regarding locks on data types (data-type-locks.log) is located in <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory. The log shows all the calls to lock and unlock data types, at the INFO level, when a data type is updated by various mechanisms like application import, XSD import, etc. The log can help resolve issues regarding data types being locked when attempting to update them or their precedents.

MariaDB upgrade check logs

The logs regarding potential compatibility issues for upgrade to MariaDB as the Appian Cloud database are captured in <APPIAN_HOME>/logs. There are three corresponding logs:

Forgot password requests

User requests to reset a forgotten password are logged in a comma-separated (CSV) file, forgot_password_requests.csv, in <AE_HOME>/logs/audit/. Data captured includes the following:

Column	Description
Timestamp	Date and time when the request was made in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format.
Username	The username entered in the reset request.
Email Address	The email address to which the email was sent. If no email was sent, this field will be blank.
Email Type	The type of email sent. Valid values are: "Password Reset," "Deactivated User," "Password Not Old Enough," and "Not Authenticated Through Appian." The value may also be blank if an email was not sent. In such a case, "Reason Email Was Not Sent" will have a value explaining why an email was not sent.
Requestor IP Address	The IP address that the application server associated with this request.
Reason Email Was Not Sent	The value will be empty if email was sent. Otherwise, value will be one of the following: User does not exist. User does not have an email address User email address is invalid Invalid "from address" in custom.properties

Logins

Each log in attempt is recorded in the login-audit.csv file. This file is located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory.

The following login events are recorded:

• Internal authentication through the login page.
• Single Sign On and/or an external directory service.
• Successfully authenticated web API call.

Data captured includes the following:

Column	Description
Login Timestamp	Date and time when a login or access attempt occurs. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (Milliseconds are excluded.)
User	The username submitted by the login attempt.
Status	The login attempt status is recorded as Succeeded, Failed, or Transient (Appian Mobile Application logins only) .
IP	The IP address that the application server associated with this request.
Source	One of the following authentication sources is listed: Portal (includes LDAP and SAML authentication) Email JMS Message SharePoint Web Service Web API (if HTTP basic authentication logging is enabled)
User Agent	The self-reported client information (such as browser version) for web browsers. Mobile clients list the following details. Agent name, such as AppianiOS or AppianBB Appian Mobile application version number Device name, such as iPad, iPhone, or 9780Device Device OS version, such as 4.2.1 (iOS) or 6.0.0.359 (BB OS) Internal build number
Transaction ID	A unique identifier (UUID) for each login attempt. Can be utilized to group Appian Mobile application logins, for which both a "Transient" and "Succeeded" entry can be recorded.
Session UUID	The Appian user's unique identifier (UUID) for the session that was logged in. Also found in `logout-audit.csv`

A login is determined to have Succeeded when the following valid credentials are passed:

1. The username and password combination is correct.
2. The user is not deactivated.
3. The user is not locked.
4. The user has not reached the maximum allowed number of concurrent sessions.
5. (Appian Cloud only) If the Trusted IP Address feature is enabled, the login must also meet the established IP address or origination domain criteria.
6. The user's password is expired, but the user is prompted to change their password before proceeding.
   • It is possible for a user to repeatedly attempt to login and cancel the password change.
   • Each such attempt is logged as a success.
7. When Single Sign On is enabled, a successful login occurs when the user accesses Appian (according to each window opened during the session).
   • For example, should the user close the browser, then reopen it a few minutes later before the Appian session expired, another success is recorded.

Logins via the Appian Mobile application are handled via an in-app browser. For these logins, a Transient entry is recorded when the user identity has been validated in the in-app browser, but a session has not yet been created. When a valid session is established, a Succeeded entry is added. All successful mobile logins will be preceded by a Transient entry. If you are looking to count successful logins, ignore Transient entries and only count Succeeded entries.

The user agent information reported by the web browser often includes industry acronyms and jargon with unclear meaning.

For example:

• Mozilla/4.0 may be reported by any browser that is compatible with Firefox.
• Windows NT 6.1 is reported by browsers that are using Windows 7.

Special Consideration for Cloud

To view the login-audit file, access the navigation menu in Appian and select System Logs.

Logouts

User session logouts are recorded in the logout-audit.csv file. This file is located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory.

The following logout events are recorded:

• A user session has expired.
• A user manually logs themselves out.
• A user is renamed, logging out all active sessions.
• A user is deactivated, logging out all active sessions.
• A maintenance window is triggered, logging out relevant user sessions.

Data captured includes the following:

Column	Description
Login Timestamp	Date and time when the login occurred and session was created. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Last Activity Time	Date and time for the last session activity. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Session Deletion Time	Date and time when the user was logged out and the session deleted. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
User Active Duration (HH:mm:ss)	Amount of time from login to "Last Activity Time".
Session Duration (HH:mm:ss)	Amount of time from login to logout.
User	The username for the user session.
Logout Reason	One of the following values: SESSION_EXPIRATION LOGOUT USER_RENAME USER_DEACTIVATION MAINTENANCE_WINDOWS
User UUID	The Appian user's unique identifier (UUID).
Session UUID	The Appian user's unique identifier (UUID) for the session that was logged out. Also found in `login-audit.csv`.

If the node hosting the web application server or the web application server itself is shutdown unexpectedly, any active user sessions will not be recorded in the logout audit at this time.

Session audits can easily be accomplished by joining login-audit and logout-audit data with Session UUID.

For example, below are three successfully created user sessions taken from a login-audit.

login-audit sample data

Login Timestamp	User	Status	IP	Source	Transaction ID	Session UUID
2022-06-21 15:27:19	joshua.ledge	Succeeded	12.3...	Portal	7eec7b33...	721491af...
2022-06-21 19:31:49	joel.redd	Succeeded	98.7...	Portal	d9df2346...	fc9986cd...
2022-06-21 21:31:49	talhah.hamm	Succeeded	90.8...	Portal	ebccd463...	977e83a8...

By identifying the matching rows using Session UUID in the logout-audit, a full session analysis can be done. Not all properties from both audit files are shown.
