Current and archived compliance event logs can be downloaded via the Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter.
Event logs are captured automatically, and are retained as configured in the adapter's settings. The Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter receives events, and creates CSV formatted log files for the events.
The compliance event log file captures the following comma-delimited information in this order:
- The date/time of the event.
-
The operation triggering the event.
This consists of three pieces of data: The adapter or other system component (e.g., workflow) triggering the event, the instance of the component (e.g., adapter instance or specific workflow), and an operation descriptor (e.g., workflow page name).
-
The user requesting the operation (e.g., the logged in XMPP user).
This includes the user's login or similar identifier, and the user's "reference name" (full name).
- The "location" where the operation was performed (e.g., the IP address of the XMPP device).
-
The data that was accessed.
This includes an object identifier for the data (e.g., the patient MRN) and a user readable name (e.g., the patient name).
- Additional data that may be of interest to a compliance auditor (e.g., a search string used to find the data).
When event logs are available, you can click the download button in the Vocera Compliance Logger Adapter to access the current and archived logs.
Select Download Event Logs in the adapter's sidebar to access the download functionality.
Download Today's Events
A dialog displays where you can select Download Today's Events to access only the current day's event logs. Otherwise, select Close to remove the window from view.
A dialog displays options for saving the compliance.log file. Select the Save File radio button to export the compliance.log file of today's events. Otherwise, select the Open with radio button and choose an application with which to view the file's contents. Click OK, and then access the file in the system's Download location. (This example uses an Internet Explorer browser; presentation will be different in other browsers.)
Download Archived Event Logs
In the event log dialog, use the Event Year and Event Month dropboxes to display the event logs retained in the system.
In the Available Files pane, click an entry to access the event log for that date. Otherwise, select the Open with radio button and choose an application with which to view the file's contents. Select OK, and then access the file in the system's Download location.
The dialog box displays the compliance.log identifier as the selected date (in year/month/day format) as shown below. In this example, compliance event logs for March 30, 2017 will be saved. (The following example uses an Internet Explorer browser; presentation will be different in other browsers.)
