For NextGIS Web on-premise you can also see if there are updates available.

7.32.2. Storage

Note

This functionality is only available for cloud Web GIS

The “Storage” section contains information about the volume of data loaded into Web GIS depending on their type. The space usage estimate is located below the main table. The administrator can forcibly recalculate the amount of storage (for example - immediately after loading big data, if the system has not yet recalculated the occupied space on its own).

To install the update, contact the system administrator.

7.32.4. Backup policy

Data backups are performed for every Web GIS (any plan). The frequency depends on total data volume and Web GIS use activity (once or several times per month).

Note

Restoring data from backups is available for Premium users only.

For other plans Web GIS backups are made to mitigate possible infrastructure risks not related to user actions.

If you are on Premium and need a restore - send us a request to support@nextgis.com. We’ll let you know which dates are available. Additionally, you can see the last backup date under System information section of your Web GIS’ Control panel (subsection Platform - Last backup).

7.32.5. Backups

In this section you can see a list of available NextGIS Web backups, as well as download any of them. The process of creating backups and restoring for developers is described in this section.

Note

This functionality is available only for on-premise Web GIS.

7.32.6. User activity log

Note

This functionality is available only for on-premise Web GIS Extended Edition.

User requests to the Web GIS are logged in a journal. It can be found in the Info section of the Control panel of the Web GIS (Pic. 7.329.).

Pic. 7.329. Request journal in the Web GIS Control panel

The log is presented in a form of a table that has a set of filters above it (Pic. 7.330.). Every user action is registered in the journal. The entry contains the following details:

Timestamp
Request (includes response status codes and request method )
IP address
User
Route name
Context (type and ID of the resource)

Pic. 7.330. Activity journal

You can filter the journal entries by time period and user performing the action (Pic. 7.331.). The table, filtered or otherwise, can be exported as a CSV file.
