Activity Log

What Are Activity Logs?

Activity Logs are structured records generated whenever a Doc Holiday process is executed. They provide a detailed trace of each run’s context, execution status, reasoning, and related metadata. Activity Logs help users track what Doc Holiday did, why, and what the outcome was for every automation or manual action performed.

Data Contained in Activity Logs

Each Activity Log entry includes the following core data fields:

1. Publication

• The name of the Publication that was triggered

2. Action

• The specific activity that Doc Holiday performed

3. Date

• Timestamp at which the process completed

4. Summary

• A summary of the commits, changes, or diffs that were processed to generate the documentation and/or release notes. Entries may include commit hashes, authors, and summaries.

5. Reasoning

• A short explanation or rationale given by Doc Holiday describing its decision-making and process for the run. Helpful for understanding why a certain set of files or commits were selected.
