A.A.A.R. – Enable Alfresco Audit service

The very first task to do is activate the audit service in Alfresco performing that actions.

• Stop Alfresco.
• In ‘<Alfresco>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties’ append:

# Alfresco Audit service
audit.enabled=true
audit.alfresco-access.enabled=true

# Alfresco FTP service
## ATTENTION: Don’t do it if just enabled!
ftp.enabled=true
ftp.port=1121

• Start Alfresco.
• Login into Alfresco to have the very first audit data.

Now let’s check if everything is working properly.

In the browser location write:

http://<alfresco_url>:<alfresco_port>/alfresco/service/api/audit/control

The result should be a Json similar to the one described below.

{
 "enabled" : true,
 "applications": [
 {
  "name": "Alfresco Tagging Service",
  "path" : "/tagging",
  "enabled" : true
 },
 {
  "name": "alfresco-access",
  "path" : "/alfresco-access",
  "enabled" : true
 }]
}
