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.
