About audit log

Administration

Needed permissions: owner

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.

    Note: This option will export only the logs that you currently see on the screen, not all of them.

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.

To see changes made to a specific site, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Menu > Administration.
  2. Navigate to Sites & apps.
  3. On the left, select the site for which you want to find an ID.
  4. The ID is under the name of your site.
