The Audit module tracks changes made to content items.

Setting up the audit module

The Audit Module requires creating of the Audits table in the database, to do this you can run /Lynicon/Admin/SQL/AddAudit.sql

Configuring the audit module

The audit module has two parameters:

  • ApplyToType is a function from Type to bool returning true if the content type should be audited.
  • KeepFor is a TimeSpan indicating how long an audit record should be kept for.  Every time the audit module starts up, it purges records older than this.
