Log events

Log events are generated by Trust Protection Platform components as well as custom add-ons provided by Venafi, our partners, or customer organizations.

All log events have a standardized set of fields. This allows the log server to store events in a database and query events across all sources.

When an event occurs, the following sequence of events beings.

1. A Trust Protection Platform component serves an event to the Log API.
2. If the event's severity level is Debug, and the Debug setting is disabled, it is discarded.
3. The Log API sends the event information to the MSSQL Service Broker Queue for processing.
4. The log server periodically checks the queue.
5. The log server sends the event to the default log channel.
6. The log server applies matching notification rules. This may trigger sending the event information to the corresponding channels.
