Activity log archiving moves logs older than one year from the internal database to a dedicated table in the Data Model's Data Pool. Archiving happens once a day at minight and it must be enabled separately for each Studio package.

Important

While you must enable archiving separately for each Studio package, activating it for any package triggers a global cleanup. Activity logs older than one year will be deleted from the internal database for all packages in the team.

 

Enabling activity log archiving

  1. Go to your Studio package.

  2. Select Package Settings > Activity history.

  3. In the Activity history screen, select Enable.

Once the activity log archiving is enabled, logged data is written back to the Data Pool related to the Data Model in two tables:

  • ARCHIVED_ACTIVITY_LOGS_V2 - used for storing activity logs from enhanced Views.

  • ARCHIVED_ACTIVITY_LOGS_${4 digit ID} - used for storing activity logs from legacy Views.

You can use this data in an analysis. To do so, after the table is created, go to Data Model where you want to add it as a table. Click on Add Tables and then select the archived activity log table. Archived data will be loaded to Data Model, and available for display in Views.

The following information is stored in an activity log:
