Activity Stream User Guide

As the owner (user with Admin role) or a 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.

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 table or charts of these events.

This page answers the following questions:

• What is an event?
• What is a event report?
• How can you access the Activity Stream?
• How can you select a preconfigured event report?
• How can you create a custom event report?
• How can you export a chart event report?

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

What is an event report?

An event report is a filtered set of events viewed in one of a set of viewing formats.

You can filter events by any combination of:

• event-type (one type at a time or all-events)
• organization name(s)
• Room name(s)
• user name(s)
• role(s)
• date-range.

You can view the events in one of two formats:

• Table format
• Chart format

The table format is a list of the events, with one list entry per event.

The chart format displays the events in one of number of different chart-types with different measurement and sorting options.

The chart-type determines the purpose of the horizontal axis of the chart.

The measurement option determines the purpose of the vertical axis of the chart. Options are:

• Measurement by Number of Events (default): This option means that each increment on the vertical axis of the chart represents an event. (Currently this is the only measurement option available.)

The sorting option allows you to sort the bars on the chart (along the horizontal axis). Options are:

• No Sorting: This option does not perform any sorting.
• Sort Alphabetically (default): This option sorts the bars alphabetically by title. (The title is either role user name, organization name, depending on the chart type.)
• Sort Ascending: This option sorts the bars in ascending order by number of events (or by whatever the measurement option is currently).
• Sort Descending: This option sorts the bars in descending order by number of events (or by whatever the measurement option is currently).

You can select one of the preconfigured event reports, or create your own custom event report.
