Audit Logs in StatusIQ

Audit Logs in StatusIQ provide a centralized record of configuration changes and administrative activities performed across your account. They help you track who performed an action, when it was performed, and what was changed, making it easier to investigate issues, meet compliance requirements, and maintain operational accountability.

What are the use cases of Audit Logs?

Audit Logs are useful in several day-to-day operational and compliance scenarios, including:

• Investigating unexpected configuration changes: Identify who modified a status page, incident, component, or user settings when an unexpected behavior occurs.
• Meeting compliance and audit requirements: Maintain a historical record of administrative activities to support internal audits and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
• Troubleshooting operational issues: Review recent changes to quickly determine whether a configuration update caused an incident or unintended changes to your status page configuration.
• Tracking administrative accountability: Verify which administrator created, updated, or deleted resources across your StatusIQ account.
