Job Management Partner 1/Asset Information Manager Administrator's Guide
By using the Operation Log List job menu, you can check user operation logs such as those for file creation date/time and the PC stop date and time. The Operation Log List window allows you to directly access the JP1/Software Distribution database and check the operation logs stored in the database for each device.
With the default setting, only the administrator can execute operations from the Operation Log List window.
To check the operation logs, start from the Operation Log List window, which is displayed by clicking the Operation Log List job menu. The following figure shows the Operation Log List window.
Figure 2-82 Operation Log List window
Specify conditions, as necessary, and click the Search button. A list of search results that match the conditions is displayed.
Specify search conditions and search for the operation logs. Depending on the search conditions, a large volume of search results might be displayed. You should therefore specify appropriate search conditions so that the target information can be narrowed down.
You can also search for the operation logs by using a preset search pattern. For details about using a search pattern to search for the operation logs, see (2) Using a search pattern to search for the operation logs.
To search for the operation logs:
You can trace user operations from the File Operation Trace dialog box, which you display by clicking a link under File name. For details about how to trace user operations, see 2.7.3 Tracing user operations.
For Logs to display, select the check boxes of the operation logs to be checked, and specify conditions in the displayed search items. The following table lists and describes the check boxes for the operation logs to be checked and the linked products.
Table 2-4 Check boxes for the operation logs to be checked and the linked products
Operation log to be checked | Corresponding check box |
---|---|
Date and time a program was started, stopped, or suppressed | Program start log |
Change made to a window title | Window title change log |
|
File operation log |
Start, termination, log-on, or log-off operation on the PC | PC startup log |
Title or URL of an accessed Web tab | Web access log |
|
External media log |
The following explains the specification of and provides notes for Logs to display.
The following provides notes about selecting File operation log in Logs to display, and about searching for the file operation logs:
The Type items that are specified when File operation log is selected for the Logs to display search condition include items that correspond to multiple JP1/Software Distribution types.
The following table shows the operation logs types in JP1/Software Distribution that correspond to the Type items of File operation log.

A search pattern has pre-registered search conditions for an operation log to be searched for. By using search patterns to search for operation logs, you can eliminate the work of setting search conditions for each search. The following diagram shows the Search pattern setup area.
Figure 2-83 Search pattern setup area
An example of the procedure for using a search pattern to search for an operation log is described below. In this example, the operation log that records files removed from the organization is searched for.
To use a search pattern to search for an operation log:
The following table lists and describes the provided default search patterns and the log data that is displayed.
Table 2-6 Description, and logs to display of available search patterns
Search pattern | Description | Logs to display |
---|---|---|
Site inspections | This pattern checks window titles, such as the sites viewed by users. |
|
Copy detections | This pattern checks the copying of folders or files. |
|
Program start preventions | This pattern checks startup suppressions of programs. |
|
Output of all logs | This pattern checks all operation logs. |
|
Output of all program start logs | This pattern checks the start, termination, or suppression of programs. |
|
Output of all window title change logs | This pattern checks window title changes. |
|
Output of all file operation logs | This pattern checks user operation of folders or files. |
|
Web access logs | This pattern checks the title or URL of accessed Web tabs. |
|
Print logs | This pattern checks print operations. |
|
External media logs | This pattern checks connections and disconnections with external media, as well as the operations for permitting or suppressing connections to external media. |
|
Output of all PC startup logs | This pattern checks PC start, stop, logon, and logoff operations. |
|
Any number of search patterns can be registered.
To register or update a search pattern:
To delete a search pattern:
Clicking the Date/time link in the search results displays the Operation Log Details dialog box. This dialog box allows you to check the operation log of devices having the same host name within the specified time range.
The following figure shows the Operation Log Details dialog box.
Figure 2-84 Operation Log Details dialog box
In Display start and Display end, specify the time range (minutes) of the logs you wish to check, and then click the Refresh button. The time of the selected log is used as a reference, and you can check all operation logs of that device that fall within the specified time range. The operation log of the reference time is displayed in a purple frame. You can specify a time range from 0 to 30 minutes. With the default settings, logs that were collected within 5 minutes before or after the specified log are displayed.
You can trace user operations from the File Operation Trace dialog box, which you display by clicking a link under File name. For details about how to trace user operations, see 2.7.3 Tracing user operations.
You can view details of a target device by clicking the Host name link in the search results. The details that can be viewed is the information managed by Asset Information Manager. If the selected Host name corresponds to one device, clicking the Host name link displays the Device Details dialog box, which allows you to check details for that device.
If there are two or more corresponding devices, clicking the Host name link displays the Operation Log - Device List dialog box, which allows you to view a list of the corresponding assets. To view details of the target device, click the corresponding Asset No. link in the Operation Log - Device List dialog box. The Device Details dialog box is displayed, and you can view the details.
You can download the search results list as a CSV file. To do so, set the search conditions of the operation logs to be output to a CSV file, and then click the CSV button.
The number of logs output to the CSV file is the number for each JP1/Software Distribution table that was set for Number of search results acquired for the operation log in the Server Setup dialog box. This is the same as the number of acquired search results displayed in the Operation Log List window.
To output all operation log entries that correspond to the specified search conditions, execute jamTakeOperationLog.bat as a user with administrator permissions. For details about executing jamTakeOperationLog.bat, see 7.3.1 Executing jamTakeOperationLog.bat in the Planning and Setup Guide.
