Definition

What is Audit log?

An audit log is a chronological record of actions taken in a system - who did what and when - kept for security, compliance, and accountability.

An audit log is the system's memory of events. Every significant action - a record changed, a permission granted, a login - is recorded with the user, timestamp, and details, creating a trail that can be reviewed later.

Audit logs are essential for security investigations, compliance requirements, and simply answering "who changed this?" They deter misuse and provide evidence when something goes wrong.

Atlas keeps audit logs of key actions across the workspace, giving administrators a reviewable record for security and compliance.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is an audit log used for?
Audit logs are used for security investigations, compliance, and accountability - showing who did what and when so actions can be reviewed and traced.
What is the difference between an audit log and an activity feed?
An activity feed is a user-facing stream of recent updates. An audit log is a more complete, tamper-resistant record kept for security and compliance, often admin-only.
