Support Article - Determining User Access from Specific Back Office or Storefront Pipeline Execution

Introduction

Sometimes it is necessary to determine which user executed a storefront or back office operation (pipeline call) in the past.
Now there are two ways to handle this question.

Option A - Use Web Adapter Access Logs and DB Information

  1.  The web adapter log tracked pipeline execution (in our example: ViewApplication-ProcessLogin - notice the part from a session ID)

  1. Search for this session ID in the DB
    Please note that the session ID in the webadapter log is longer than in the sessioninformation table - only a part of the web adapter session ID is important.
    So we do a similar search with right % - example:

select * from BASICPROFILE bp, sessioninformation si where bp.uuid =

si.USERID and si.SESSIONID  

like'%4hKc4M_w1lew4KtSJu2IUmcw%';

Option B - Create Pipeline Auditing by Customized Log Appender

By using a log appender, you can specify the pipeline to be tracked.
If a user executes this pipeline, it will be written into a log file.

An example log appender is attached - code example:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<included>
<appender name="AuditPipeline" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<filter name="OnlyAuditPipelineTransactionsFilter" class="ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter">
<evaluator name="OnlyAuditPipelineTransactions">
<expression>
formattedMessage!=null
&amp;&amp;
(
formattedMessage.contains("Executing pipeline: ViewApplication-ProcessLogin")  
)
</expression>
</evaluator>
<OnMatch>NEUTRAL</OnMatch>
<OnMismatch>DENY</OnMismatch>
</filter>
<filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
<level>TRACE</level>
</filter>
<File>${intershop.logfile.Directory}/AuditPipeline-${intershop.logfile.NamePostfix}.log</File>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>${intershop.logfile.Directory}/AuditPipeline-${intershop.logfile.NamePostfix}.%i.log</FileNamePattern>
<MinIndex>1</MinIndex>
<MaxIndex>10</MaxIndex>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<MaxFileSize>500MB</MaxFileSize>
</triggeringPolicy>
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder">
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<Pattern>

%date{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS zZ,GMT}] %-5level ${intershop.HostName} ${intershop.InstallationID} ${intershop.ServerName} [%mdc{requestsite}] [%mdc{requestapplication}] [%mdc{pipelinestack}] [%mdc{job}] %logger [%marker] [%mdc{request.type}] [%mdc{http://session.id }] [%mdc{request.uuid}] [%mdc{user.login}] [%mdc{user.uuid}] "%thread" %msg %ex%n
</Pattern>
</layout>
</encoder>
</appender>
<logger name="com.intershop.beehive.core.internal.pipeline.PipelineProcessorImpl">
<level value="TRACE" />
<appender-ref ref="AuditPipeline" />
</logger>
</included>

In case of pipeline execution, the appender will track related pipeline execution ViewApplication-ProcessLogin from a mentioned user – example log entry...
