Activity Log
Activity Log
The Activity Log provides a comprehensive history of all actions taken across your VergeCloud organisation. It captures every significant event—whether performed by a user or via an API key—along with essential metadata such as timestamps, domain scope, and action type.
Use Cases
- Track and review all actions performed within the organisation. Any operation that causes a change or trigger is automatically logged for audit and traceability.
- Monitor access and changes made by specific users or API keys.
- Audit system activity for compliance or incident investigation.
Activity Table
The log table displays:
- Action Date: When the action was performed.
- Action Type: A description of what was done (e.g., Create DNS Record, Enable MFA).
- Domain: Scope of action (domain-specific or system-wide).
- Performer: Identifies whether a user or an API key triggered the action.
- User: The name of the person or application responsible for the action.
Log Details
Clicking the “eye” icon for a log entry opens detailed request and response logs, including:
- HTTP Method and URI
- Request Body with payload details
- Response Code and Server Message
Filtering
Logs can be filtered by time using quick filters (e.g., 3 Hours, 6 Hours, 12 Hours, 24 Hours, 7 Days, 30 Days), as well as by specific members and domains to isolate changes based on actor or scope.
Best Practices & Considerations
- Visibility: All actions are automatically recorded—no extra setup needed.
- Accountability: Each log ties back to a user or key, ensuring traceability.
- Filtering: Narrowing logs by scope or time improves readability and performance.
