Audit events and PDF progressiveLoad

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

I have recently enabled alfresco-access, but I notice that since we have enabled progressiveLoading in web-preview.get.config.xml, we are getting seperate readContent audit entries for each chunk.

This shows as multiple entries for an individual user & document, within milliseconds of each other. 

Is there anything we can do to filter this, perhaps to only re-log the same event after a specified time has passed ?

This is version 5.1.2 Enterprise

Many thanks

Keith

There really is no way to filter this. You may have also noticed that you may get two readContent entries just for some user downloading a single file (even without progressive load).

This circumstance is why I ususally do not use alfresco-access. I prefer defining my own audit application. This enables me to also implement some kind of consolidation / cleanup job that aggregates audit events asynchronously to simplify the data structure and eliminate potentially redundant entries. Doing any post-procesing on audit data requires low-level Java programming and can be a bit complex. Usually you are mapping data from one audit application to another, and deleting the original entries when done. I use such an approach e.g. in my generic audit addon for tracking "active users".
