  • mirror the log files

    Mirror the activity log to log files

    Mirror the activity logs to a log file as a backup, while making it easier to import the activity log to your custom logs management system. Configure the plugin to write the activity log to a log file so the logs can be read and parsed by your system.

  • wsal send activity log

    Send activity logs directly to third party systems

    When you send the activity log to a log file or a third party logs management system you can configure the plugin to not write any activity log data to the database, avoiding redundant data.

    Export the plugin settings configuration to keep a backup, or to import the same plugin configuration on other websites, allowing you to have a base configuration and easily propagate it to other websites.
