Hello,

I think you already got an answer over on ticket.

But I'll publish the answer here as well, maybe it can help other people in the community.

We have 2 kind of logs: the tomcat logs and the Semarchy logs (also called pde).

Here is a great reference that details the tomcat logs: https://last9.io/blog/tomcat-logs/

For the Semarchy logs, here is the documentation on it: https://www.semarchy.com/doc/semarchy-xdm/xdm/latest/Admin/platform-logging.html

As you'll see many things can be logged.

But what you are asking (audit trail of every user action) is not one by default.

You could capture those information if you increase many loggers to their highest level.

But then will follow a huge work to extract the required information on one side.

And on another side, it will hinder your performances as verbose loggers are resource intensives.

In the repository you can also find creator/updator and creation date/update date information for each tables.

Maybe that could also help.
