Environment

Novell Vibe OnPrem

Situation

At the moment you an only see who accessed Vibe folders or files based upon login credentials from a catalina.out file or you can pull a content changes from the Vibe databases within various reports within Administration console.  

Resolution

At the moment there is no way to track IP address of end user who accessed the Vibe server. There has been an Enhancement request made to consider recording also such information in log files or reports.
 
For those looking for a way to do access logging, Tomcat provides a way to do so via 'Access Log Valve'. However, by default it is turned OFF.

This is a good read on this topic:

When enabled, you will see an additional log file called
<server>_access_log.<date>.txt in the logs directory.
