Viewing Audit Data

In the PrivX GUI, you can find audit data from the following locations:

  • For data about connections, go to ​Monitor→Connections​​.

  • For global audit events, see ​Monitor→Events​​.

  • PrivX microservices generate logs to ​/var/log/messages​​. These may be useful in troubleshooting scenarios.

📘

Note

To obtain video playback from connections, enable session recording as described in Session-Recording Setup.

Access to Specific Connections' Details

You can provide role-based access to specific connections:

  1. Ensure that relevant roles do not already provide access to all connections: On the Settings→Roles page, verify that relevant roles do not grant the connections-view permission.

  2. Next, provide the relevant roles access to specific connection(s). On the ​Monitor→Connections page, click a connection to see its details. Then under Access Roles, set roles to provide access to their users.

📘

Note

Users who can only access specific connections are unable to access ​Monitor→Connections, which means they cannot list the connection entries available to them. You must provide direct links to connection entries for such users.

Permissions provided with ​Access Roles​​ ignore access-group restrictions​.

Temporary Access to Connection Details

You can provide temporary access to connection details. To do this, we recommend the following setup:

  1. Create a role for temporary access. To do this, create a role with ​Contextual Restrictions​ to specify time restrictions for the role.

  2. Specify what connection details the role can access:

    • To provide access to all connections' details, set connections-* permissions for the role.

    • To only provide access to certain connections' details, set Access Roles as described in Access to Specific Connections' Details.
