Audit Logs

Audit Logs provide a detailed and searchable history of all actions performed in your organisation. It serves as a central source of truth and traceability for both organisation-wide and project-specific activities.

Important

Only organisation members can view the full audit trail of the organisation. To view your personal audit logs, open the account dropdown menu at the top-right of the screen (next to your name) and click My Audit Logs.

Each log entry contains the following fields:

  • Author – The user who performed the action.
  • Event – The action that was triggered (e.g., login, update, destroy).
  • Item Type – The type of resource that was affected (e.g., project, user, service resources).
  • Name – The name or identifier of the affected resource.
  • Date – The timestamp when the action occurred.

Event Types

There are two general categories of events:

  • Portal Events: Actions triggered through the Switch Cloud Portal interface, such as logins or project updates.

  • Backend Requests: Denoted with the Request prefix (e.g., Request create, Request destroy), these actions represent calls made to backend services. Underlined events include an expandable section showing the raw parameters that were submitted to the backend.

Search and Filters

To narrow down log entries, use the search and filter options at the top of the page:

  • Author – Filter by the user who triggered the event.
  • Event – Select a specific action (e.g., login, destroy, archive).
  • Item Type – Choose a resource type to filter the results.
  • Name – Filter by affected resource name or identifier.
  • From / To – Define a custom date range.
