SPAA: Activity Log Locations

The Activity Log Locations page is where to manually configure log locations to avoid requiring remote registry access to locate the activity event log files. It is a wizard page for the category of Scan SharePoint Activity.

Activity Log Locations page

The options in the Activity Log Locations page are:

  • Add – Opens the Customize Activity Log UNC Paths location window to add a new host
  • Add Default – Opens the Customize Activity Log UNC Paths location window for the default host
  • Edit – Opens the Customize Activity Log UNC Paths window for the selected host. If edits are made, click OK to save the changes.
  • Remove – Removes the selected host

Customize Activity Log UNC Paths Window

The options in the Customize Activity Log UNC Paths Window are:

  • Host name – Host name of the targeted SharePoint On-Premises server or SharePoint Online tenant

  • SBTFileMon.ini UNC path – UNC path to the location of the SBTFileMon.ini file (as configured in Activity Monitor > Monitored Hosts)

  • Activity log UNC path – UNC path to the location of the SBTFileMon_Logs folder containing the Activity Logs (as configured in Activity Monitor > Monitored Hosts)

    NOTE: For On-Premises environments you do not need to specify an Activity Log UNC path as the Data Collector will default to finding the log locations via the registry.

  • Activity archive UNC path – UNC path to the archive location of Activity Logs (as configured in Activity Monitor > Agents). If archiving is not enabled in Activity Monitor this can be left blank.

NOTE: In any UNC paths, %HOST% will be replaced with the host name.

See the Getting Started with SharePoint & SharePoint Online Activity Monitor topic in the Netwrix Activity Monitor Documentation for additional information.
