Action logging service for Common Base Events (Deprecated)

The Monitor action services enable action logging using Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) as the action-logging mechanism.

The Monitor action services emit events using the Common Base Event structure before and after an action is executed. You can track whether an action has been taken based on the logging data from the emitted events.

The following tables describe the logging events before the actions are executed.
Before Action Handler Logging Event
Common Base Event property name Usage description
globalInstanceId xsd: ID Globally unique primary identifier of the event, generated by CEI when event is emitted.
creationTime xsd:dateTime The date and time when the event was issued. Must be a dateTime data type.
