The audit log tracks changes made to objects in the database and records the user who made the change, when the change was made, and what was changed.
Limitations
The audit log exists to make undoing accidental changes easier, and is not intended to replace regular database backups.
When undoing a deletion, dependents of the object will not be restored. For example, deleting a machine also deletes all of its programs, parts, events, etc., but restoring a machine restores only the machine itself.
Only the object types listed in audited object types are audited.
Change types
- Created (
INSERT): the object was added to the database. The initial state of the object is displayed as "after". - Edited (
UPDATE): the object was modified. A table will be displayed with a side-by-side comparison of the "before" and "after" states of the object, highlighting the differences. - Deleted (
DELETE): the object was deleted. The state of the object prior to deletion is displayed as "before". Learn more about the audit log of deleted objects below: Trash.
