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:
