Workflow Audit Log

The page details the information logged in the audit during a workflow completion.

What Is Logged in the Audit

Since 7.4, a new audit category called Routing has been added for the following workflow events:

afterWorkflowStarted
afterWorkflowFinish
beforeWorkflowCanceled
afterWorkflowTaskCreated
afterWorkflowTaskEnded
afterWorkflowTaskReassigned
afterWorkflowTaskDelegated

For all these events, we log useful information regarding the workflow and/or node state in the extended info of the audit entry. The table below summarizes which extended info is logged depending on the event.

	modelName	modelId	workflowInitator	taskActor	workflowVariables	nodeVariables	action	timeSinceWfStarted	timeSinceTaskStarted
afterWorkflow Finish	x	x	x		x			x
afterWorkflow Started	x	x	x		x			x
beforeWorkflow Canceled	x	x	x		x			x
afterWorkflow TaskCreated	x	x			x	x		x
afterWorkflow TaskEnded	x	x		x	x	x	x	x	x
afterWorkflow TaskReassigned	x	x		x	x	x		x	x
afterWorkflow TaskDelegated	x	x		x	x	x		x	x

Where:

modelName is the name of the workflow model
modelId is the uuid of the workflow model
workflowInitator is the user who initiated the workflow
taskActor is the user who completed a task associated to a workflow node
workflowVariables lists the global variables of the workflow
nodeVariables lists the local variables i.e. the ones defined on the node associated to a task
action is the action (i.e. button) that has been clicked to complete a task.
timeSinceWfStarted is the time in milliseconds elapsed since the workflow started.
timeSinceTaskStarted is the time in milliseconds elapsed since the task started.

Note that since Nuxeo 7.3, the audit is stored by default as an Elasticsearch index which offers the possibility to store the extended info as plain JSON objects. The workflowVariables and nodeVariables are indeed maps of primitive types and therefore are stored in their current forms except for blob variables which are omitted.
