About Audit Trails

Introduction

Audit Trails captures the activities performed by the administrators in the console and logs it. It is useful for organizations to meet the data governance and compliance requirements by providing a chronological view of all the administrator activities.

Druva Cloud Administrators can track and monitor all the activities ensuring complete transparency, traceability, and accountability of all the administrators, thereby aiding forensics and compliance initiatives.

Audit Trails captures the following information about an activity performed -

  • The name of the administrator who performed the activity
  • The name of the Druva Service in which the activity was performed
  • The activity that was performed
  • The name of the resource on which the activity was performed
  • The Resource type
  • The time stamp in, MMM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS format, when the activity was performed

Druva Cloud Administrators can also apply filters and generate a view for specific administrators, service, activity type, and so on. For more information, see Filter Audit Trails.
