as a gitlab admin, how can I list all recent activity

Question

Generally, activity reports are limited to those projects or groups we are a member of; however, as the admin for a gitlab site, sometimes, when doing upgrades for example, it would be convenient to see if and where any recent activity was. I saw nothing in either the gui or the gitlab-shell or rake commands to do this.

Answer 1

After checking the logs, here is the lowdown:

The application log only contains information for git activities: push and pull operations, commits, etc.

The only information available about issues and other parts of the system are in the nginx (or apache) access logs, by checking the POST operations.
