Admin activity log

I'm doing some digging on a question I was asked. In the admin activity log in the logmessage field I see "Accessed page [categories.php] with action=update_category_meta_tags. Review page_parameters and postdata for details." Where would I find the page_parameters and postdata?

They are fields in the admin_activity_log table. You have to look at these fields using phpMyAdmin or some other database access tool.

... or perform an export (Admin :: Admin Activity Logs) of the logs, since the post-data (present in the gzpost field of that database table) is a json-encoded (and uneditable) blob.

This did the trick. I was viewing admin_activity_log in phpMyAdmin but the data I wanted, turns out, is in gzpost and that does not display. Exporting from the Zen admin turned it into readable data.
