Questions & Answers

How to enable audit logging for Iguana Professional and Enterprise

Iguana audit logging is disabled by default. In order to enable this, go into settings > logging > and click on edit at the bottom of the page. This should bring up an option to enable or disable audit logging.

How to calculate the volume of log search messages

While Iguana's log API does not include log search volume as a parameter, you can calculate this separately. When you query the log API, your results will be returned in XML format. In order to count the volume of messages included in the result, you must first parse out the XML result. Once the data has been parsed, you will be able to count and calculate the volume of log search messages returned based on any search criteria you would like to use (e.g. volume of ADT messages included in the response).
