What is Audit Log for CloudConnexa?

Audit Log is your go-to resource for tracking all administrative actions within your CloudConnexa account. From user management to account security changes, Audit Log captures it all.

• Dashboard visualization: Easily monitor the total number of change events over time.
• Detailed event breakdown: See exactly who made a change, when it happened, and the specifics of the change(s).
• Powerful filtering options: Search by user, event type, time frame, and more to quickly locate the changes that matter most.
• Export capability: Download filtered logs as a .csv file for auditing purposes.

With data stored for 90 days, Audit Log ensures you have the historical context needed to maintain a secure and well-managed environment.

What are the core benefits of Audit Log?

For IT admin teams that lack visibility and alignment over management of their CloudConnexa account, Audit Log provides a streamlined solution to reach the root of changes to your Wide-area Private Cloud (WPC) over time, so you can: 

1. Troubleshoot issues quickly: Pinpoint the root cause of problems by identifying what changed, who made the change, and when it occurred.
2. Demonstrate security compliance: Easily meet compliance requirements by maintaining a detailed log of administrative actions, thereby minimizing downtime and preventing prolonged investigations. 
3. Verify and undo changes: Audit Log breaks down each change event to show who’s responsible, when it happened, and what specific modifications(s) were made, giving you the accurate context needed to verify changes and quickly reverse actions that yielded unintended results. 

The chart at the top of the Audit Log dashboard quickly shows admins the volume of change events over time:

Here’s an example of a breakdown of the exact modifications behind a change event — in this case, an update to Cyber Shield:

Additionally, Audit Log enables admins to:

• Go to the altered module with just a click from "Change Details" to easily return the previous configuration.
• Review audit logs for the past 90 days.
• Filter events to include only those the admin is interested in.
• Download a .csv with the filtered events for Company Auditors.
• Confirm actions taken as part of a company process, like the removal of a user during the off-boarding procedure. 

Audit Log is tailored to the needs of administrators managing complex environments. It addresses key pain points, such as:

• Lack of visibility into account changes.
• Time-consuming investigations for troubleshooting.
• Frequent audits for compliance in heavily regulated industries.
• Coordination among multiple active administrators managing a single WPC.

Below are a few examples of how Audit Log can make your life easier.

1. Need to quickly restore a broken network configuration? Use Audit Log to identify who made the change and revert to a previous setup.
2. Unsure when a feature was turned on or off — and by whom? Audit Log provides the clarity needed to confirm actions and maintain security.
3. See a suspicious configuration change? Audit Log can help you determine whether the change was made by a malicious actor.

What sets Audit Log apart?

Audit Log goes beyond the basics, making it easier for administrators to manage their CloudConnexa WPC.

• Enhanced context: Unlike competitors that provide only brief event captions ( e.g. “John Doe deleted John Doe from Accounting group”) or API logs, our Audit Log goes the extra mile to deliver in-depth details and additional context, such as the total number of changes over a 90-day period. Again, this makes it quicker and easier to troubleshoot issues and demonstrate security compliance.

Here’s an example of the kind of detailed insights you can expect from each change event Audit Log captures:

How do I get started with Audit Log?

Getting started with Audit Log is simple. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to API & Logs in the menu on the left.
2. Click Audit Log.
3. Filter your Audit Log by user, event type, time frame, and more to find the change events you’re interested in.

Note: Audit Log also integrates natively with our Log Streaming feature; you can export audit logs to your company's SIEM or other external systems via Log Streaming to simplify log process.
