Audit trails

The Audit Trail logs the activity within your organization. You can use the audit trail to monitor security events.

Before you begin

• You must be an Admin to view the audit trail.

View audit trail

To view the audit trail:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to Testing & synthetics > Performance > Settings.
3. Under Usage, click Audit trail.

In the audit trail page, you can:

• Use the Period filter to view results within a specified time frame.
• Click on the columns to change how results are sorted.

Use cases

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.

Reconstruct 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.
