What is the Audit Log?

The Audit Log is a record of some actions taken within the site.

The Audit Log allows you to see:

• The date and time of every action.

• The name of the user who has done the action.

• The type of action. 

• The user's IP address. 

• The details of the action performed.

What is the purpose of the Audit Log?

• The Audit Log exists for added security.

• Since the Audit Log tracks every single action within the site, you can check who has done what if anything goes awry.

• For example, if you find that some crucial content has been deleted, you will be able to see exactly who has done this and when.

Who can access the Audit Log?

• The Audit Log is visible for users with Admin and Owner roles.

How long does the Audit Log keep logs?

• Data is purged from the Audit Log after three months.

How can I see details of the actions recorded in the Audit Log?

• Each row in the Audit Log includes a “View details” link (on the right end side of the table)

• Clicking this link opens a modal displaying further information about the recorded action.

What kind of changes are recorded in the "View details" modal?

• For certain actions, such as updating an item or modifying a quiz question, the modal will display exact details of what has changed, including before and after values (e.g., the previous and updated text of a question).

• Sensitive information (e.g., updates to integration API credentials) will be redacted for security reasons.

What do the filters mean?

• User/Actor - You can select a user to check their actions on the system

• Type - This is the type of information that has been effected

• Event - You can select what action was taken

• Object name - What was changed/edited or updated

• IP Address - The IP address at the time of the action

• System - Shows system events

• Timespan - When the event happened

How can I use the filters to search through the Audit Log?

You can use the Audit Log to search for an array of items.
For example, If you want to see what user deleted an item, you can apply the following filters: ‘Action>Deleted’ and ‘Object’s name>[name of item]’. The Audit Log will immediately produce a result.

Another example is if you’d like to see the activity of a user.
You can do this by applying the filters ‘Date From>To’ and ‘User>[name of user]’, to see all of the activities of the user during that time span.
