Events Log

The “Events Log” section (located in the “Administration” section) records all key events in the system, providing transparency and control over user actions.

Logging allows you to:

• Track data changes (creation, editing, deletion of objects).
• Analyze unauthorized access attempts.
• Restore the history of operations when errors occur.

Log structure

The log window contains the following fields:

1. Logged type — object category (e.g. “Metering unit”, “User”).
2. User — account that performed the action.
3. Logged action — operation type (authorization, creation, modification).
4. Metering unit ID — identifier of the metering unit.
5. ID of the logged object — identifier of the object to which the action was applied.
6. Changes — details of the changes made (old and new value).
7. Address — IP address or network name of the device from which the action was performed.
8. Creation date — the exact time and date of the event.

Example of record analysis

The figure below shows the change history for the Metering unit with ID 861. Analysis of the records (bottom up) reveals:

• Change of unit ownership — transfer between consumers.
• Rename unit — name update (e.g., “Warehouse No. 5” → “Fuel and lubricants warehouse”).
• Change of service organization — assignment of a new company for servicing.
• Update of telemetry unit data — replacement of the factory number.
• Change of SIM card number — activation of a new identifier for data transfer.

Benefits of logging

1. Security audit — identify suspicious activity (e.g. logins from unauthorized IP addresses).
2. Data recovery — roll back erroneous changes via edit history.
3. Reporting — generate statistics on user activity.
4. Transparency — each administrator can check who made changes and when.
