User reports for AEM

[Manu_Mathew_]

Hi Guys,

I would like to get some inputs/suggestions on the below requirements- 

-- What are all available User activities reporting capabilities in AEM?

-- Is there a way to get a report that displays each user action being done at AEM level at all AEM spaces?

-- Is there any way we could report the list of all or selected user activities(create, delete, move etc)?

Are these available in AEM alone or can it be achieved with any integration with other tool?

Hi @Manu_Mathew_ 

I can only think about audit logs to capture user activity

Hi @Manu_Mathew_ 

I know for assets there is this DAM Event Recorder. This article I found it pretty good on explaining how it works: https://techrevel.blog/2019/10/13/aem-asset-reports/. And I believe is working for both AEM 6.5 and AEMaaCS.

For the rest of stuff, I know only this documentation https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/sites/administering/operati... that can monitor activities on different areas. 

There is also this new capability to monitor user permissions changes: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/sites/administering/operati...

Me personally, I think the focus of monitoring/reporting features so far was per area of capability(s), and not as an user-centric approach. But I may be wrong, and there might be in fact a way to see everything that a user does from one place. But I am not aware of it.

Hi

All the repository related actions like node creation, property modification etc.. are captured in audit.log file. But I think you might have to enable debug mode.

If you want events related to page, asset or replication, then you can use the following ACS Commons feature to search and get the reports on these per user - https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/audit-log-search/index.html
