Actions Logging Application – Spring Boot – Vaadin

Description

Tracking and Logging user Actions is essential and even critical part of too many areas and in so many layers of an Application. So here I’m offering a Service, Module or Application – that does that – with Source Code Included. You could plug it in your own applications and services. It is intended to be used by Administrators – or the back end side of a Service and not be exposed to external users.

Actions Logging – Data Model Definitions

Audited App

• ID
• Name

Because most probably you will want to audit several Applications by one external module (service), the top level model is Applications.

Log Filter

Different Apps may have a lot of common Filters, but some will have different ones. They are characterized by:

• Key – Constant Field – specified by the context of an App
• App ID (to which Application they belong)

App Log

• Audited App ID
• Content – The Actual Content
• Log Level – values from:
  • Trace = 0;
  • Debug = 1;
  • Info = 2;
  • Warning = 3;
  • Error = 4;
  • Fatal = 5;
• Time Stamp – The Moment in time when the log occurred.

App Log <==> Log Filter – Link

This is a Many to Many Link between the Log and the Filter. It has the relational fields and the Value that is corresponding to the Key:

• App Log ID
• Log Filter ID
• Value – value depending on the different instances of the Key. Example Values may be
  • Concrete screen/web page/ the user is on
  • Button user has been clicked
  • User has Entered/Exited some application location
  • Operation Execution has started/finished
  • The Value of some important to the User or Application – variable

Implementation in Spring Boot – Vaadin Web App

So here I am presenting you on implementation of the application With Spring Boot – Vaadin Web App.

The Package includes

• Spring Boot – with REST endpoint for save and Vaadin Web UI for admin
• Client Lib with Spring Service that you could inject in your code – after you include the scanning of beans to the client package. The Lib also includes integrations with:
  • Google Login Web App  https://programtom.com/dev/product/google-login-to-program-tom-apps-micro-service/
  • JWT Token (Regeneration) App https://programtom.com/dev/product/jwt-token-app-micro-service/

Here is simple snippet that you could use in your apps to log something:

appLogService.saveAppLog(AppLog.AppLogBuilder.anAppLog()
.withContent(dbMission.getName())
.withLogLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG.ordinal())
.withAuditedApp(AuditedApp.withName(appName))
.withTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())
.withAppLogFilterLinks(List.of(
AppLogFilterLink.withNameAndValue(LogFilter.KEY_ACTION, "save_mission")
))
.build());
