How to enable Audit logging and track user changes?

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

My customer creates and changes certain records as part of their day to day process, and for the sake of an integration we need to know which tables are modified from those record changes.

I read that I can enable Database logging using the approach described below:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/appuser-itpro/configure-and-manage-database-logging

But is that what I need to actually trace the records and the fields that have been modified by the customer, or do I need to enable some different type of logging? And if so how?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Evgeni Dyulgerov

RE: How to enable Audit logging and track user changes?

Yes, database logging is exactly meant for that purpose, as you can see from the documentation.

Also many financial transactions already contain an audit log in them so you don't need to use database logging for those.

You should enable database logging only for the tables and fields where it's really needed, and try to avoid using it on transaction tables since it causes performance overhead.
