A log of system events and activities

An audit trail provides a chronological list of system events and user activities. Organization owners can use audit trails to monitor the operations that their users perform and to trace events.

Reconstructing Events

With the audit trail, you can investigate how a series of events might have led to an event. Examples of what you can investigate include the following:

How a test was deleted
How a member lost access to a project,
How a subscription or billing settings were altered.

Threat Detection

If you notice suspicious activity, you can use audit logs to rule out the possibility that something or someone gained unauthorized access to your organization. You can scan the audit trail for abnormalities and even check whether the IP addresses match what you have registered for your users.
