Audit Log

The Audit Log panel in the VIP Dashboard provides visibility into what is happening in an organization or an application. An audit trail of all management actions on the platform allows compliance with internal and external regulatory standards, and provides insight for debugging, security, and incident investigation. 

Audit Logs are immutable and the reported data is retained for the lifetime of each customer.
