User Details in tm1server.log

Post by mayankthu3@gmail.com »

Hello All,

To adhere with GDPR policies, there is a requirement of hiding the user names in tm1server.log file.
Instead we can place User Id in place of user names. Would anyone of you please enlighten how to achieve this ?

Regards

Hi Mayank,

By default, the tm1server.log file shows only the user ID (AFAIK there is not a way to make it show anything else). There is a file called tm1s-log.properties that configures the logging details for the TM1 server. You can set the level of detail and include different properties to log to the server log file.

BUT - why not just lock down access to the log file? Wouldn't that remove any wandering eyes from seeing user information? That would by far be the easiest approach.
