About the Log schema

During installation, Venafi Configuration Console (VCC) automatically imports event definitions to the Logging Event Definitions folder. Each event definition uses the log schema to define static information about operations. When an event requires translation to a human readable format, the logging application uses:

  • The Event ID to find the appropriate event definition.
  • The event definition, which is based on the log schema, to format the raw event from the database.

We strongly recommend that you avoid making changes directly to the log schema. Instead, see Customizing event definitions. The log schema for each event definition is as follows:

Log Schema

Event ID

Required. An 8-digit, unique value. Contains:

    • Custom add-on apps: Group ID is decimal.
  • An Event Number as the last four digits. The Event Number is always hexadecimal. For example, the following Event ID maps to the Admin UI - Certificate Downloaded event.
