Audit Logging
What is Audit Logging?
Audit logging is the process of documenting activity. Audit logs record the occurrence of an event, the time at which it occurred, the responsible user or service, and the impacted entity.
What do Audit Logs Document?
- Event name
- Easy-to-understand description of the event
- Event timestamp
- Actor or service that created, edited, or deleted the event (user ID or API ID)
- Application, device, system, or object that was impacted (IP address, device ID, etc.)
- Source from where the actor or service originated (country, host name, IP address, device ID, etc.)
- Custom tags specified by the user, such as severity level of the event
