Monitor activity in your PIM

Summary

To help you understand how you can monitor activity in your PIM, make sure you are comfortable with Akeneo's Event Platform and Event Subscriptions. You can find more info here and here.

 

Only available for Premium Enterprise Edition customers

 

Overview

The PIM Activity events were built to provide you with the ability to monitor, in real-time, the activities taking place in the PIM. Each time a qualified activity takes place in the PIM, an Activity event is sent to all subscribers.

These events can be fed into a SIEM tool or an internal monitoring tool to assist with threat detection, reporting and auditing PIM activities. 

We recommend that your receiving integration is able to scale and utilizes a queue system to safely handle high-volume activity bursts.
