action: VIEW_DBMON_UI

[Sundarapandian.Ponniah]

Hello,

we repeatedly see the following error in or server.log. Can someone please help to understand what is "action: VIEW_DBMON_UI entity: APPLICATION 1" in this error, and also if we could restrict this operation for a specific user or a group ?

I also couldn't see much information in audit.log for the specific user. Are there any docs that explains different actions? 

Sample:

Would appreciate any swift response on this...

Warm regards,

Hi Sundar,

The error which you are seeing is because the user is trying to access the database monitoring page when it is not having enough permission to view. Do you see any functionality issue here? If not, you can ignore this as it is just a permission related error.

Also, please let me know the controller version you are using.

Thanks,

Yogesh
