Enable user activity logging

User activity logging is a feature that allows you to log user activities. Below is an example of logged user actions:

$ tail -f /tmp/datalore/datalore.log

            {"@timestamp":"2022-10-11T14:46:14.594+02:00","@version":"1","message":"Audit logging event","logger_name":"audit","thread_name":"Computation edt_0_0","level":"TRACE","level_value":5000,"id":"B9otorSZuP2n2vyTHCkhLe","timestamp":"1665492374594","event_type":"run_cell","user_id":"pEoHIeNPj4DE43XInXC5OV","cell_content":"print(123)","file_id":"pEoHIeNPj4DE43XInXC5OV\/cEFzZVm3xAYFg3nvWeZqnT"}
        

Enable user activity logging

Make a local copy of the logback.xml config file that can be found at /opt/datalore/tomcat/conf/logback.xml inside the server container.
services: datalore: ... volumes: ... - "./logback.xml:/opt/datalore/tomcat/conf/logback.xml"
Edit the file copy. Choose a logback appender, add the net.logstash.logback.encoder.LogstashEncoder encoder for it and specify your logger configuration in place of <logger name="audit" level="OFF"/> as shown in the example below.
<configuration> ... <appender name="AUDIT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>/tmp/datalore/datalore.log</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <fileNamePattern>datalore.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern> <maxHistory>30</maxHistory> <totalSizeCap>30GB</totalSizeCap> </rollingPolicy> <encoder class="net.logstash.logback.encoder.LogstashEncoder"/> </appender> <logger name="audit" level="ALL" additivity="false"> <appender-ref ref="AUDIT"/> </logger> ... </configuration>
Replace the content of the original logback.xml file (same directory from which you run Docker Compose) with the content of the edited copy.
