Geo Logs

Key Points

Geo Logs track where users access FlowLogic from.

Data is based on network and browser information, not exact GPS.

Logs can be filtered by:

• User
• Date

Geo Logs are primarily used for security monitoring and auditing user activity. The data can be exported for further analysis.

What Are Geo Logs?

Geo Logs record the approximate location of users when they access FlowLogic.

They provide visibility into:

• Login locations
• User activity patterns
• System access points

This helps organisations monitor system usage and identify unusual behaviour.

How to Access Geo Logs

To access Geo Logs:

1. Go to the Logs Menu (top right menu)
2. Select Geo Logs
   

This opens the Geolocation Logging Screen.

Understanding Log Data

Each row represents a single system access event.

Key Fields Explained

Timestamp (UTC)

• When the activity occurred

User ID / Username

• Identifies the user

Latitude / Longitude

Accuracy of Geo Logs

Geo Logs are approximate, not exact.

Why Accuracy Varies

Location is determined by the IP address, network provider, and browser data, not by GPS. 

VPN Considerations

If a user is using a VPN, the location shown will reflect the VPN server location, NOT the user’s real location

Export Options

CSV download

This allows you to:

• Audit user activity
• Share logs with management
• Perform deeper analysis in Excel

Summary

Geo Logs in FlowLogic provide visibility into where users are accessing the system from.

While not perfectly precise, they are a valuable tool for:

• Monitoring access
• Improving security
• Supporting audits

By using filters, reviewing log data, and understanding limitations like VPN usage, you can effectively use Geo Logs to maintain oversight and system integrity.
