Logs and reports


Moodle keeps detailed logs of all the activities that users perform on your site. You can use these logs to determine who has been active on your site, what they did, and when they did it.

Note

Some reports are available at the course level. Teachers can access these reports. Other reports are available at the site level. You must be a site administrator to access these reports. Both are covered in this chapter.

Moodle has a modest report viewing system built into it. However, for sophisticated log analysis, you need to look outside Moodle.

To view the logs and reports for a course, you must be logged in as a teacher or a manager. Then, select My courses | Name of course | Reports.

You can use this page to display three different kinds of information. From the top to bottom, they are as follows:

  • Logs

  • Live logs

  • Activity report

  • Course participation

  • Activity completion

  • Statistics

Let's look at each one separately.
