Logging usage

admin/handlevirus.php

$log = $DB->get_record("log", array("module"=>"upload", "info"=>$file, "action"=>"upload")

A simple check to see if the file was recorded as being uploaded.

auth/mnet/auth.php

$mnethostlogssql = " SELECT

   mhostlogs.remoteid, mhostlogs.time, mhostlogs.userid, mhostlogs.ip,
   mhostlogs.course, mhostlogs.module, mhostlogs.cmid, mhostlogs.action,
   mhostlogs.url, mhostlogs.info, mhostlogs.username, c.fullname as coursename,
   c.modinfo

FROM

   (
        SELECT
            l.id as remoteid, l.time, l.userid, l.ip, l.course, l.module, l.cmid,
            l.action, l.url, l.info, u.username
        FROM
             {user} u
             INNER JOIN {log} l on l.userid = u.id
        WHERE
             u.mnethostid = ?
             AND l.id > ?
        ORDER BY remoteid ASC
        LIMIT 500
   ) mhostlogs
   INNER JOIN {course} c on c.id = mhostlogs.course

ORDER by mhostlogs.remoteid ASC";

Function keepalive_client: A heavy SQL query is performed that joins the log table to check whether the user who logged in via mnet is still active.

backup/util/helper/backup_cron_helper.class.php

$logexists = $DB->record_exists_select('log', $sqlwhere, $params)

Function run_automated_backup: This query is performed twice in this function. It is used to check the log if there were any modifications to the course content.

backup/util/structure/backup_nested_element.class.php

The backup process contains it's own get_logs function that does not obtain data from the Moodle log table, but it's own backup_logs table. The structure is as follows -

id bigint backupid character varying(32) loglevel smallint message character varying(255) timecreated bigint

A few things to consider. How will this integrate into the new system with the backupid? Which field would that be placed in? It also has a loglevel, is that going to be a universal log level or unique to backup? If so, which fields to store in? Are we just going to leave it as it is?

blocks/recent_activity/block_recent_activity.php

$logs = $DB->get_records_select('log',

                               "time > ? AND course = ? AND
                                module = 'course' AND
                                (action = 'add mod' OR action = 'update mod' OR action = 'delete mod')",
                                array($timestart, $course->id), "id ASC");

Function get_structural_changes: Returns list of recent changes in the course structure. Used only within this block.

course/lib.php

This is called for the function build_logs_array which is only ever called when the user has requested to print the logs for the course via the log report (report/log). So, is not called all the time (fortunately).

$params = array('userid'=>$USER->id, 'url'=>"view.php?id=$courseid", 'since'=>$since); $select = "module = 'course' AND action = 'new' AND userid = :userid AND url = :url AND time > :since";

return $DB->record_exists_select('log', $select, $params);

Function can_delete_course: If the user does not have the capability moodle/course:delete but has the capability moodle/course:create. The above checks when the user created the course, and if it was less than a day ago they can delete it.

lib/cronlib.php

$sql = "SELECT info, count(*)

         FROM {log}
        WHERE module = 'login' AND action = 'error'
              AND time > ?
     GROUP BY ip
       HAVING count(*) >= ?";

Function notify_login_failures: The above query is performed twice except the group by variable changes.

1. Gets all the IPs with more than notifyloginthreshold failures since lastnotifyfailure and insert them into the cache_flags temp table.
2. Get all the INFOs with more than notifyloginthreshold failures since lastnotifyfailure and insert them into the cache_flags temp table.

The following is then performed -

$sql = "SELECT * FROM (

       SELECT l.*, u.firstname, u.lastname
             FROM {log} l
             JOIN {cache_flags} cf ON l.ip = cf.name
        LEFT JOIN {user} u         ON l.userid = u.id
            WHERE l.module = 'login' AND l.action = 'error'
                  AND l.time > ?
                  AND cf.flagtype = 'login_failure_by_ip'
       UNION ALL
           SELECT l.*, u.firstname, u.lastname
             FROM {log} l
             JOIN {cache_flags} cf ON l.info = cf.name
        LEFT JOIN {user} u         ON l.userid = u.id
            WHERE l.module = 'login' AND l.action = 'error'
                  AND l.time > ?
                  AND cf.flagtype = 'login_failure_by_info') t
       ORDER BY t.time DESC";
   $params = array($CFG->lastnotifyfailure, $CFG->lastnotifyfailure);

This selects all the login errors logged belonging to the IPs and infos since lastnotifyfailure that are stored in the cache_flags table.

lib/datalib.php

This is where the core log functions are created, but are not used here. The functions get_logs_usercourse and get_logs_userday are only ever called in the report/log/graphs.php.

if (is_siteadmin()) {

   if ($count->attempts = $DB->count_records_select('log', $select, $params)) {
       $count->accounts = $DB->count_records_select('log', $select, $params, 'COUNT(DISTINCT info)');
       return $count;
   }

} else if ($mode = 'everybody') {

   if ($count->attempts = $DB->count_records_select('log', "$select AND info = :username", $params)) {
       return $count;
   }

}

Function count_login_failures: Is used by renderers (both lib/outputrenderers.php and mymobile/renderers.php).

lib/deprecatedlib.php

$sql = "SELECT u.id, u.firstname, u.lastname, MAX(l.time)

         FROM {user} u, {role_assignments} ra, {log} l
        WHERE l.time > ?
              AND l.course = ?
              AND l.module = 'course'
              AND l.action = 'enrol'
              AND ".$DB->sql_cast_char2int('l.info')." = u.id
              AND u.id = ra.userid
              AND ra.contextid ".get_related_contexts_string($context)."
     GROUP BY u.id, u.firstname, u.lastname
     ORDER BY MAX(l.time) ASC";

$params = array($timestart, $courseid); return $DB->get_records_sql($sql, $params);

Function get_recent_enrolments: Performs a query with the user, role_assignments and log table to return recent enrolments.

$logs = $DB->get_records_select('log', "time > ? AND course = ? AND

                                       module = 'course' AND
                                       (action = 'add mod' OR action = 'update mod' OR action = 'delete mod')",
                                       array($timestart, $course->id), "id ASC");

Function print_recent_activity - self explanatory.

lib/statslib.php

$sql = "INSERT INTO {stats_user_weekly} (stattype, timeend, courseid, userid, statsreads)

       SELECT 'logins', timeend, courseid, userid, COUNT(statsreads)
          FROM (
                 SELECT $nextstartweek AS timeend, ".SITEID." as courseid, l.userid, l.id AS statsreads
                   FROM {log} l
                 WHERE action = 'login' AND $logtimesql
               ) inline_view
        GROUP BY timeend, courseid, userid
          HAVING COUNT(statsreads) > 0";

$DB->execute($sql);

Function stats_cron_weekly: Used to gather weekly statistics. Retrieves all 'login' actions in the log table between a certain time period and inserts them into the stats_user_weekly table.

$sql = "INSERT INTO {stats_user_monthly} (stattype, timeend, courseid, userid, statsreads)

       SELECT 'logins', timeend, courseid, userid, COUNT(statsreads)
         FROM (

                    FROM {log} l
                   WHERE action = 'login' AND $logtimesql
              ) inline_view
     GROUP BY timeend, courseid, userid";

$DB->execute($sql);

Function stats_cron_monthly: Used to gather monthly statistics. Retrieves all 'login' actions in the log table between a certain time period and inserts them into the stats_user_monthly table.

if ($firstlog = $DB->get_field_sql('SELECT MIN(time) FROM {log}')) {

   return $firstlog;

}

Function stats_get_start_from: Returns starting date of the statistics. If there are currently no stats the variable $CFG->statsfirstrun is checked, and if it is equal to 'all', then a simple database query is performed on the log table to retrieve the lowest time recorded.

$sql = 'INSERT INTO {temp_log1} (userid, course, action)

       SELECT userid, course, action FROM {log}
        WHERE time >= ? AND time < ?';

$DB->execute($sql, array($timestart, $timeend));

Function stats_temp_table_fill: Fills the temporary stats tables (temp_log1 and temp_log2) with new data by performing a single select query on the log table to retrieve data from a given time range.

lib/uploadlib.php
