Kyvos Azure Marketplace   Kyvos GCP Marketplace Kyvos Single Node Installation (Kyvos SNI)

The audit logging feature is designed to track changes made by users and the system, allowing you to view specific actions. By accessing the Audit Logs page, you can see a consolidated list of all activities, including operations and configuration changes. This enables configuration changes, enabling easy tracking of action sequences without navigating to different pages. All activities are recorded in chronological order, regardless of category.

The Audit Logging page displays a comprehensive log of user and system actions, such as logins, logouts, password changes, downloaded logs. It also indicates user activity status and logs exported snapshots and mail notifications. Additionally, it records operations, and Kyvos configuration changes, even when the cluster is inactive. This includes changes to Kyvos Manager properties, upgrades, SMTP configurations, hostname changes, and Kyvos Manager LDAP configurations. By default, the page supports downloading archived audit logs that are 30 days old. You can modify the length of time that audit logs are kept in the archive by modifying the AUDIT_LOG_RETENTION_PERIOD Kyvos Manager property.
