, found that the logs are in different folders on the prod server vs the dev server. Was able to see it read the logs on the prod server with your concat(). The login-audit.csv doesn't have headers, but there doesn't see to be a way to tell the function no header.

, I would love to use this plugin to get the user audit logs, but I have not been able to figure out how to add the server name to get the function to read the logs. Any help would be most appreciated.

I tried using:

readcsvlog(
csvPath: concat(<servername>,"/","login-audit.csv")
)

and it returns totalcount: -1

Hi Yogesh,

The original Q&A is a little vague; if you have multiple application servers in a single Appian instance then I'm not sure that I have an answer that's any better than what's above.

If you're in a High Availability config or other distributed topology, we've found a way to do that. It's fairly simple:

Determine HA node names from topology config
- If you're on cloud, here's how
- Navigate to your Appian Support portal
- Go to Health tab --> Cloud Resources --> Metrics
- Select the HA environment URL (e.g. our prod environment)
- Your HA node names show up under "servers to display"
If the environment has more than once instance (e.g. when a cloud instance is high availability), prepend the server name to the log file name. Loop over the server names to get all 3 servers' logs.
- e.g. concat([server name], "/", [log file name])

One idea is to leverage other technology. If you are on Appian cloud, you could stream the logs to a tool like SPLUNK to be ingested, consolidated, and presented. If you are self-hosting, you could set this up as well.

In the distant past I believe I was able to cook up a brute force approach that read the log file from several process instances launched in such a way that they'd be launched on random app servers, and compared all results to each other. I figured that if I launched enough instances (n^2 perhaps) then I was realistically guaranteed to have hit all of them. Of course, the project I did this on is long in my past, and I haven't messed with it recently, so I can't really speak to whether this method would still realistically work.

AFAIK, there is no solution using this plugin.
