Shadow Log Viewer (Server)


 

The shadow log viewer allows you to retrieve the shadow log stored on DeviceLock Enterprise Server.

 

There is not much difference between the service's shadow log viewer and the server's shadow log viewer, so first see Shadow Log Viewer (Service).

 

In comparison with the service's shadow log viewer, the server's viewer has the following additional columns:

 

 

 

Also, unlike the service's shadow log viewer, when you delete a record in the server's viewer, the record's binary data is removed from the database or from the disk (it depends on the Store shadow files in SQL Server flag) but all other information (such as the file name and size, user name, date/time, process and so on) is moved to the special log called Deleted Shadow Data Log.

 

This Deleted Shadow Data Log is used when you don't need the content of the shadow data anymore and you want to clean up storage (either SQL Server or the disk), but you need to keep information about the data transfer.
