Project Log: Monitoring an ongoing Project

The Project Log helps researchers to monitor their ongoing data collection and to identify potential problems occurring during the data donation.

Two types of logs exist for each project: An Exception Log and an Event Log.

Exception Log

The Exception Log lists all exceptions that participants encountered during the study. The log provides the following information:

  • The date and time when the exception occurred

  • The type of the exception (for a description of the type-codes, see here)

  • Which participant encountered the exception (if applicable)

  • For which file blueprint the exception occurred (if applicable)

  • If the exception was raised on the client-side (i.e., the participant’s browser) or the server side

  • A message describing the exception

Event Log

The Event Log currently registers the following events:

  1. When an access token is created or deleted

  2. When the API endpoint for the project was called but authentication failed or permission was denied

  3. When a data download attempt was successful, failed or denied.

  4. When a data delete attempt was successful, failed, or denied.

  5. When a participant delete request was successful, failed, or denied.
