Activity Stream User Guide

As the Org Admin user or an Org/Room Manager of your organization, use the Activity Stream feature to view all the activity that has taken place on or to your organization (including its Rooms) since its creation.

Check the description of your custom role, to see if you can access the activity stream.

Note: Room Managers can only see Room-related events for Rooms of which they are members.

Organization and Room activity is stored as events - known as the Activity Stream, which you can view as an event report, which is a filtered list, or table, of these events.

This page answers the following questions:

It also provides a sample of the kinds of events you can expect to find in the Activity Stream.

What is an event?

Tehama stores all activity that takes place on or to your organization and Rooms as events.

For example:

  • Ask an individual to join your organization (e.g.: to become a member)? That is logged as an event.
  • Create a Room? That is also logged an event.
  • Invite another organization to join your Room? Also an event.
  • Log in to a Desktop in a Room? Yet another event.

You get the idea. See the list of possible events at the end of this page.

Event Types

At times, it is useful to restrict viewing of events to certain types of events - that is, to filter the events by type.

Tehama defines the following event-types:

  • Room Config - e.g.: create a Room, rename a Room, archive a Room
  • Room Access - e.g.: add user to Room, fetch secret from Room's secrets vault
  • Desktop Template - e.g.: create and configure Desktop templates
  • Desktop Access - e.g.: connect to Desktop instance
  • Desktop Logs - e.g.: push logs from Desktop instance to support
  • Team - e.g.: invite users to an organization, edit role of user in an organization, enable single-sign-on
  • Policies - e.g.: create, update, delete policies, assign policy to a Room, remove policy from a Room
  • Secrets - e.g.: create, fetch, delete secrets in a Room's secrets vault
  • File Vault - e.g.: upload, download, delete resource in a Room's file vault
  • App Vault - e.g.: upload, delete resource in a Room's app vault

What is the event report?

The event report is a filtered set of events, viewed as a date/time-ordered list, with one list entry per event, that is displayed on the ACTIVITY STREAM page.

Table format

You can filter events with any combination of the following filter options:

  • event-type (one type at a time or all-events)
  • organization name(s)
  • Room name(s)
  • user name(s)
  • role(s)
  • date-range (By default, the Date-range filter is set to "Last 30 days", from when the page is loaded.)

How can you access the Activity Stream?

Only the Org Admin user and Org/Room Managers of a Room's owner organization or a Room's connected organization (owner+connected, user+owner or connected-only) can see the Room's Activity Stream events. Note, that Room Managers can only see Room-related events for Rooms of which they are members.

Only the Org Admin user and Org/Room Managers of an organization can see organization-related Activity Stream events.

Check the description of your custom role, to see if you can access the activity stream.

There are two ways to access the Activity Stream:

  • Organization Level Activity Stream Access:
    View event reports on all activity for your organization (including events for all owned and connected-to Rooms in the organization):

    1. Log in to the Tehama Web UI.
    2. Select the ACTIVITY STREAM tab in the navigation bar.
      Activity Stream for Organization

  • Room Level Activity Stream Access:
    View event reports on all activity for just one Room in your organization (events only for that Room):

    1. Log in to the Tehama Web UI.
    2. Click on the ROOMS tab in the navigation bar.
    3. Click on the name of the Room you want to see events for. You will see the user interface for the Room.
    4. Click on the Room's AUDIT tab.
    5. Select the ACTIVITY STREAM sidebar item.

How can you customize the event report with filters?

Apply filters to the event report, in order to customize its contents.

  1. Access the Activity Stream.

  2. Set any combination of the six event filters which are visible above the event report.

    Briefly:
    • Click on a filter to see its options.
    • Click on a filter option to select it.
    • If only one selection is allowed, select another option to replace the current one.
    • If multiple selections are allowed, click on the 'X' for a selection to deselect it.

    All the filters are re-applied, and the displayed event report updated, as soon as you select/update a filter option.

    All filters are AND-ed together.

Here is a description of each of the six available filters and how to set them:

Note: If a filter is not shown, it means that your organization or Room only has one option for that filter. For example, if viewing the Activity Stream from a Room, then only events for that Room will be shown and no Room filter will be offered. If viewing the Activity Stream from the organization point of view, and the organization only has one Room, then no Room filter will be offered.

 

  1. Event-type filter
    Select any one of provided the event-types (there is an 'All' type).
    Your event report will be limited to events that fall into the selected event-type. The page default for this filter is 'All Events'.

  2. Organization filter
    Choose zero, one or more of the organizations listed. (Click the X on an organization to remove it.)
    Your event report will be limited to events that were initiated by the chosen organizations. If zero organizations are selected, then no organization-filter will be applied. The page default for this filter is no organization-filter.

  3. Room filter
    Choose zero, one or more of the Rooms listed. (Click the X on a Room to remove it.)
    Your event report will be limited to events that occurred in or to the chosen Rooms. If zero Rooms are selected, then no Room-filter will be applied. The page default for this filter is no Room-filter.

  4. Member filter
    Choose zero, one or more of the users listed. (Click the X on a user to remove the user.)
    Your event report will be limited to events that were initiated by the chosen users. If zero users are selected, then no user-filter will be applied. The page default for this filter is no user-filter.

  5. Role filter
    Choose zero, one or more of the roles listed. (Click the X on a role to remove the role.)
    Your event report will be limited to events that were initiated by the users who have the chosen roles. If zero roles are selected, then no role-filter will be applied. The page default for this filter is no role-filter.

  6. Event Date-range filter
    Click on this filter to open up the date-time selector. Select one of the date-time range options from the sidebar menu, or enter a custom range in the calendars then click Apply. The page default for this filter is a date range encompassing the "Last 30 days", prior to the date/time when the Activity Stream page was last loaded in your browser.

Tip: If you want to revert just one or two of your filter settings, just change them back to the default manually. If you want to change all of your filter settings back to default values, simply reload the page in your browser.
