Audit Log
Introduced in 7.1.1, Audit Log provides a centralized logging of key changes within Metric Insights: tracking who did what and when across a wide range of objects like Elements, Folders, Users, Groups, Privileges, Notification Schedules, and more.
- See the full list of supported object types for details
This feature enhances governance, transparency, and compliance by allowing administrators to trace changes over time. The changes can be accessed via:
-
Status Monitor
- System Variables logs are also available on the Change History tab of the Status Monitor
- History tab of the object's editor
NOTE: The level of logging detail may differ depending on object type.

NOTES:
- Changes made by one user and in one short time period may be grouped for readability.
- Applying a change to an object may trigger other changes that will also be listed in Audit Log, even though they were not directly made by user. Audit Log does not only capture the changes made in the UI, but also any fields that get updated as a result of such changes - whether directly or indirectly.
