PingFederate Server

Administrative API audit log

PingFederate records actions performed through the administrative API in the <pf_install>/pingfederate/log/admin-api.log file.

While the events are not configurable, Log4j 2 configuration settings in the <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/log4j2.xml file can be adjusted to deliver the desired level of detail surrounding each event.

Each log entry contains information relating to the event, including:

  • Time the event occurred on the PingFederate server

  • Administrator username performing the action

  • Authentication method

  • Client IP

  • HTTP method

  • REST endpoint

  • HTTP status code

Each of these fields is separated by a vertical pipe (\|) for ease of parsing.
