Keeping track of changes to data in Entity

[advait75]

Hi,

Does OFBiz have any kind if audit trail mechanism? In other words, I would like to keep a record of every change that has been made in the data in an entity, and who has made the change.
I would like to know what entity, field was modified, and what the old value was, the new value is and who changed this data and when.

I have seen similar posts a few years ago on the forum, but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Advait

Yes,  you can audit any activity in particular  field. You need to
specify  enable-audit-log="true" for particular  field which  you  want  
audit and Record will be updated in EntityAuditLog entity.

Hi all,

Ofbiz maintaining logs in single table EntityAuditLog,
What about load and performance?

If you have any problems simply remove enable-audit-log where needed

OOTB only some OrderItem,  OrderItemShipGroup and ReturnItem fields are concerned. Nobody complained so far...

It affects the overall performance, you have to use it very carefully,
only for the fields/entities you are interested to audit.

When we last used it, If I remember correct we also did some changes
to the audit log code, to improve its performance, which actually had
some good effect (but not big though)
