Logs

Finally, as the administrator, you have access to user activity logs for the entire site. You can select to view logs based on course, user, date, and activity. Unfortunately, there currently isn’t a way to see aggregate logs.

One of the nicest tools in the logs area is the View Live Logs. This is a continually refreshed page that displays all user activity for the past hour. I use it to gauge server load and to get a snapshot of how students and teachers are using the system. Obviously, I could use the regular logs to do this as well, but I like the excitement of live viewing.
