The Audit Trail

What is recorded on every change, and how to search it.

What is recorded

Every change β€” create, update and delete β€” is logged automatically with:

  • Who made it
  • When
  • From which IP address
  • The request path

Sensitive values (passwords, tokens, card numbers) are redacted before they are stored, so the trail is safe to review without exposing secrets.

Searching it

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Audit Trail.
  2. Filter by module to narrow to one area of the platform.
  3. Filter by action to see only creates, updates or deletes.
  4. Narrow by date range.

What it is for

Three things, mainly:

  • "Who changed this?" β€” the fastest route from a surprising record to the person who changed it.
  • Compliance evidence β€” a complete, tamper-resistant record of activity.
  • Incident investigation β€” reconstructing what happened, in order.

What you cannot do

You cannot edit or delete audit entries. That is the point β€” a trail that can be altered proves nothing.

Tip: Start from the record, not the log. Note the date and the field that changed, then filter to that day and module. Trawling the whole trail chronologically is far slower.
