Hi all,
OFBiz has an EntityAuditLog entity log system, which allows all changes
to be recorded in a specific field of a table. This allows you to have a
technical follow-up on what is recorded in a field. Following monitoring
needs on a production environment at a customer's site, we have
identified two limitations to the current implementation.
First, unlike logs that can be modified in production, it is not
possible to modify the audit values of entities in production. It is
therefore not possible to take advantage of the information provided by
this entity to help detect production problems. To do this, it would be
necessary to be able to activate and deactivate the audit of a field
without having to redeploy or restart OFBiz. Currently the activation is
done in the entity definition. The objective would be to be able to
define it at another level in order to be able to modify the value
dynamically.
Second, the entityauditlog entity is used to store functional data. We
believe that this is a mistake and that the use of this entity must be
purely technical. For this reason we propose to modify the current code
in order to remove the use of the entity audit entity log in a
functional way.
What do you think of that?
Thanks
Pierre GAUDIN
