a new comer question about databases/collections access logging
Hi everyone,
I am new to appwrite and currently evaluate it. Thanks for this great tools first of all.
I ran into a question about logging.
I would like to log some incoming request (i.e. users logging in/out, documents the user access, etc ... ) to particular collection in appwrite( say logs).
May I know is there any "common" practice to implement this ?
Thanks for help in advace.
BR, louis
TL;DR
Developers can track Events for general logging purposes in Appwrite. However, directly tracking specific Collection & Document reads may not be possible. A workaround is to manually update a `logs` collection using Functions. Check the Usage Stats tab for overall data. More information can be found at https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/platform/events 
You could use Events to some extent for this.
But tracking Collection & Document reads may not be possible. There is a Usage Stat tab usually on the console to see an overall data.
Regarding your use-case for a User accessing a particular document, you can manually do this by firing a Function that'll update the logs collection.
