Log API

The Log interface manages Venafi application event logs. The Log interface allow for events to be recorded in the Trust Protection Platform log table. Many API method calls do not automatically generate log events. Therefore, you should consider using the Log API to track events for auditing and troubleshooting purposes.

Log server event definitions

The Log server relies on event definitions to categorize events. You can call POST Log and these types of event definitions to log events:

  • Add-on application event definitions: An optional set of event definitions that you define for your custom SDK applications. Add-on application event definitions use Component IDs in the 0200-0299 range. This reserved range of Component IDs ensures that your event definitions have unique Event IDs. After a successful import, the event definitions appear in the Logging Event Definitions folder.

    For more information about importing add-on application event definitions, see the Log Server Administration Guide.

  • Predefined event definitions: A set of Trust Protection Platform event definitions. The event definitions appear in the Logging Event Definitions folder.
