Find old history events with the easy to use search function.
If you need to find past events the search and filter feature is here for you.
Use filters to quickly dig down events by for example free text search, event type, log level, user, or date.
100.000 failed login attempts over night? Not a problem.
To prevent the graphical interface from being flooded with repeated events of the same type, for example failed login attempts from hackers, the interface will only show the latest event, but with a link to the other events. This makes it more easy for you to see other events in the log, events that could have been “stuck” between all the other events otherwise.
Multiple log levels. Because not all events are equally important.
Every logged event in Simple History get assigned one of the log levels specified in The Syslog Protocol. There are 8 severities specified and they help you keep your history categorized and easy to filter.
For example a failed login attempt may be of severity warning, but a successful login may only be of severity notice.
Easy to extend
Simple History has an API that developers (or non-developers too!) can use to extend the plugin. Use the History API to customize the audit log to log basically anything. Or create your own logger class and make all your logged entries searchable and filterable.
