View Data Transfer Logs

Once you enable detailed data transfer logs, they appear after a few hours in a dedicated repository in Artifactory called jfrog-billing-logs. The logs are uploaded every hour, and every upload may contain multiple files. The logs appear in JSON Lines format where event entries are separated by line breaks.

Each edge JPD gets its own data transfer logs.

To view the detailed logs in the JFrog Platform UI.

On the JFrog Platform UI, go to Application > Artifactory > Artifacts > jfrog-billing-logs.

Open the file logs. Every time a data transfer event occurs, any available metadata about the event will be logged on logs, including the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
`billing_timestamp`	The `billing_timestamp` is the event time rounded down to the hour, aligning with the billing cycle. Events logged after the cutoff period are timestamped for the next cycle, shown as `YYYY-MM-01 00:00:00.0`.
`event_timestamp`	The `event_timestamp` is the timestamp of the event in UTC format.
`server_name`	The server name. If your JFrog URL is `myserver.jfrog.io`, the `server_name` is `myserver`.
`service`	The JFrog service name: Artifactory or Xray.
`action`	The action performed on the artifact: upload or download.
`ip`	The IP address of the user who performed the action.
`repository`	The repository key.
`project`	The project name.
`artifact_path`	The path to the artifact that was uploaded or downloaded.
`user_name`	The username of the user who performed the action.
`package_type`	The package type.
`repo_type`	The repository key.
`consumption_unit`	The unit of measurement: currently only supports bytes.
`quantity`	The number of consumption units used.
