Monitor Stack Activities in Audit Log

Audit Log tracks and displays activities (events) performed in a particular stack. To access the audit logs, log in to your Contentstack account, go to your stack, and perform the following steps:

1. Click on the “Settings” icon on the left navigation panel.
2. Click the Audit Log tab. You can also use the shortcut key “alt + A” for Windows OS users, and “option + A” for Mac OS users to open the Audit Log tab.

The following details are displayed under Audit Log when an event occurs:

• Date: Specifies the date & time when the event occurred
• Action: Specifies the type of action performed, such as create, update, delete, etc.
• Module: Specifies the component on which the event was performed, such as Content Type, Entry, Assets, etc.
• Title: Specifies the title of a particular module.
  • Entry modules will have an i (information) icon beside them which will provide information such as Content Type, Version, and Language.
    
  • Users module too will have an i (information) icon which will display the Role(s) which is assigned to that user.
    
• Remote Address: Specifies the IP address of the node from which an event has occurred

This helps you keep a track of all published items, updates, deletes, and current status of the existing content.

Note: When working within specific branches, you will be able to view the activity logs specific to a branch. For example, if you are working within the development branch, you will receive audit logs specific only to the development branch. Refer to our Branch-specific Modules document for more information.

Filter Audit Log

By default, the Audit Log displays information in reverse chronological order. You can apply filters to refine the results and display only the required information.

The Filters section, located on the left, displays the list of available filters, which includes the following:

• Users
• Actions
• Modules
• Languages
• Content Types

Check the filter options that you want to apply.

Click on Reset filters to clear all the applied filters.

By default you get the audit logs for the past 7 days. You can filter the date range to view the logs for the last 30 days, 14 days, 7 days, and last 1 day. The Custom Date option allows you to set a custom date range for which you want to view the logs.
