Preventing ContentEvents when running scheduled job.

Vote:
 

I have a question regarding Content Events and/or scheduled jobs in relation to the "Change log" tool in Optimizely.

The situation is as follows: I have a scheduled job that creates and edits many pages of the content types OfficePage and ProfilePage. Since this job runs frequently, the "Change log" tool in Admin gets flooded with "Publish" events generated by the job.

The site administrators would like to exclude these events from the "Change log" so that they can more easily see the pages they have updated themselves.

I have tried setting CancelAction on the PublishedContent event, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

A solution that filters the Change log either by a specific user (the scheduled job user) or by specific content types would be fine. Alternatively, a solution where the change events triggered by the scheduled job user are not logged at all would also work.

I would suggest to go with the former (filter by users) instead of the latter (not logging). Logging should be there regardless of who is doing the actions

Is it possible to change the "Change log" interface or do i need to create a separate GUI for it? As it is now you can only filter to view changes by a user, not filter out a specific user.

There is currently no builtin filtering as you need, but I do agree that improvements to Change Log should be made. Feel free to vote this up https://feedback.optimizely.com/forums/966081-cms-paas-content-management-system/suggestions/50426301-change-log-filtering so it gets considered
