About audit log

The audit log lets you track how your teammates are using Piwik PRO. It helps you see who’s logged into the platform and made any changes to the settings. We made sure it follows HIPAA guidelines to enhance the security of your account.

In this article, we’ll show you how to use the audit log.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you start:

• Data in the audit log is retained for six years and includes activities performed by deleted users.
• You can export the audit log using API.
• Currently, the audit log only shows changes made to settings in Menu > Administration. In the future, we plan to include changes made in other modules as well.

See changes made to a specific site

In the audit log, you can view the changes made to all websites in your account. But if you want to focus on specific websites, you can use the site/app ID to filter the log and see what happened on those particular sites.

11. All done! You can now view the filtered audit log.
