Compliance & Monitoring

# Audit Log

Comprehensive activity tracking for security, compliance, and operational visibility.

## Overview

Edge Network maintains a detailed audit trail of all activity across your account and infrastructure. Every action—from user sign-ins to configuration changes—is logged with timestamps, IP addresses, and contextual details.

The audit log is essential for:

### Security Investigations

Quickly identify unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activity patterns.

### Compliance Audits

Demonstrate adherence to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and other frameworks.

### Change Tracking

Understand who changed what and when for troubleshooting and accountability.

### Operational Visibility

Monitor team activity and infrastructure operations in real-time.

## Event Details

Each audit log entry includes:

- **Timestamp** — When the event occurred (UTC)
- **Service** — Which service the event relates to (Account, CDN, Compute, DNS, Storage)
- **Event type** — The specific action that was performed
- **Severity level** — Info, Success, Warning, or Error
- **Description** — Human-readable summary of the event
- **Actor** — The team member who performed the action (for accounts with multiple members)
- **Source** — How the action was triggered: Web (control panel), CLI, or API
- **IP address** — Source IP for user-initiated actions (where applicable)

**Pro tip:** Color-coded severity levels help you quickly identify issues. Red (error) and amber (warning) events should be reviewed promptly.

**CLI & API Attribution:** Actions performed via the [Edge CLI](https://edge.network/docs/cli) or API are automatically tagged with a CLI or API badge in the activity log.

This helps teams distinguish between automated actions (scripts, CI/CD pipelines) and manual changes made through the control panel.

## Filtering & Search

The audit log provides several ways to find the events you're looking for:

### Filter by Service

Click the service buttons (All, Account, CDN, Compute, DNS, Storage) to show only events from that service.

### Filter by Severity

Use the dropdown to filter by event level: Info, Success, Warning, or Error.

### Keyword Search

Enter keywords in the search box to find events containing that text. Useful for finding events related to specific resources (e.g., a VM name or domain).
