Approach about incomplete AuditLogService functions filters

[nicovon24]

Hello good afternoon to everybody.

I need to develop a widget where all the audit logs from a user are shown, i am using the auditLogService. Appart from that, I need another widget for select the user and a custom widget for selecting the filters.
I have an issue that in getAuditLogsByUserId I can not fetch by actionType, actionStatus, etc, I can not make these advanced filters for example selecting LOGOUT, ALARMS CLEARED and LOGIN actions from this user. It is an uncomplete approach and don't know how to resolve it, thanks!

Types in the repo:

getAuditLogsByUserId(userId: string, pageLink: TimePageLink, config?: RequestConfig): Observable<PageData>;

export interface AuditLog extends BaseData { tenantId: TenantId; customerId: CustomerId; entityId: EntityId; entityName: string; userId: UserId; userName: string; actionType: ActionType; actionData: any; actionStatus: ActionStatus; actionFailureDetails: string; }

export declare class TimePageLink extends PageLink { startTime: number; endTime: number; constructor(pageSize: number, page?: number, textSearch?: string, sortOrder?: SortOrder, startTime?: number, endTime?: number); nextPageLink(): TimePageLink; toQuery(): string; }

Function implementation:

TimePageLink is where I am passing all the query information, does not have auditTypes which would have been very more usefull than textSearch

loadAuditLogsFromUser(userId: string, item: number, page: number, config?: RequestConfig): ObservablePageDataAuditLogs {
    const pageLink = new TimePageLink(item, page, "", {property: "createdTime", direction: Direction.DESC}, null, null);
  
    return this.auditLogService.getAuditLogsByUserId(
      userId,
      pageLink,
      config
    );
  }

Widget:

And this is the widget, the idea is to select the user at the left top and the left bottom for the filters which are not implemented and created yet

Yes, this is a known limitation — the current AuditLogService in TB CE does not support filtering by ActionType.

There are two possible ways to address this:

• Workaround: Implement a custom service method that uses the REST API (which does support filtering by ActionType) to retrieve the filtered audit logs as needed.
• Proper fix: We can consider adding support for ActionType filtering directly in the AuditLogService on the backend. If we go with this approach, the fix will be included in one of the upcoming releases of TB.

Please let us know which option works better for your use case, or feel free to contribute a PR if you'd like to help implement this feature directly in the core.
