Audit Logging

Track key actions across your account to support visibility and compliance.

Upstat maintains an internal audit log to record significant actions taken by users across your account and projects. This helps you understand what happened, when, and by whom—critical for compliance, security reviews, and internal investigations.

What’s Tracked in the Audit Log

Audit logs record events such as:

  • User logins (success/failure)
  • Role or permission changes
  • Project membership updates
  • Incident creation, edits, and status changes
  • Monitor configuration changes
  • Automation updates
  • Account setting changes
  • 2FA enablement/disablement

Each log entry includes:

  • Timestamp (UTC)
  • User who performed the action
  • Action type
  • Target (e.g., project, user, monitor)
  • Metadata/details (if available)

  • Account Owners
  • Administrators
