Adobe AEM assets/folders disappeared - where can I look for them & are there logs that might tell me if someone deleted them

I can see where the files got uploaded to the new folder via access.log in /opt/adobe/crx-quickstart/logs but I see no indication they got deleted.  

Is there some kind of process that needs to be done to save the files so they survive a reboot of the host server?  Is there anyway to see what actions users on the adobe AEM portal have taken ie. add/delete ect.

 

Thanks,

Hi 

Please have a look at this post :-

Yes AEM can store and provide audit log entries for WCM events like e.g. page modifications, deletion. But it requires the audit logger to be enabled (through the configuration admin console /system/console/configMgr). If this is the case then check either the audit.log file in your logs directory or the audit records below /var/audit

If it is a client lib folder that got deleted, then audit log won't help you much because it logs pages/dam creation/changes/deletion events. You need to write your own listener for that, which will just make the repository grow.I can only think of it happening on a dev like env as write access to /etc or /apps should be restricted on prod like envs. Anyway to restore the content just reinstall the package through which the clientlib got installed.

I hope this would help you.

Check your errors.log file and see if there are any actions for the assets path
