# Audit Log Events

> Catalogue of every event that appears in the Protect Audit Log, grouped by category

The [Audit Log](/settings/audit-log) records every meaningful action across your Protect tenant. This page is the structured catalogue of events — useful for SIEM mapping, audit deliverables, and alert design.

<Info>
  Protect records each audit event as an **Action Title × Platform Section** pair. Common events include: Connected System, Created Saved View Action, Created Shared Device Saved View, Created Team Device Saved View, Created User, Enabled Vitals, Registered Multi-Tenant Integration, Saved Dynamic Column, and Saved Logic Engine Configuration. The other categories below are grouped by the platform area that produces them; exact Action Title strings can vary by release.
</Info>

For the page that surfaces these events in the product, columns, filtering, and retention behaviour, see [Settings → Audit Log](/settings/audit-log).

## How to read this page

Each event in the live Audit Log has:

| Column               | Meaning                                           |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action Title**     | Short label (e.g. "Created Saved View Action")    |
| **Description**      | One-line context (e.g. "System: Crowdstrike")     |
| **Platform Section** | The top-level area (e.g. "Vitals", "Saved Views") |
| **Email**            | User who performed the action                     |
| **Timestamp**        | When it happened, in your locale                  |

The categories below correspond to the **Platform Section** column.

## Authentication

User session and credential events.

| Event              | Recorded when                        |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| Sign in (password) | A user authenticates via password    |
| Sign in (SSO)      | A user authenticates via SAML / OIDC |
| Sign in failed     | An authentication attempt failed     |
| Sign out           | A user signs out                     |

## User management

Changes to platform users, roles, and teams. **Platform Section: `User Management`.**

Verified live (Action Title strings as displayed in the Audit Log):

| Action Title     | Description format                     | Recorded when                                                                                                  |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Created User** | `Team: <team name>` or `User: <email>` | A team or user is created — the same Action Title is reused for both with the Description field disambiguating |

## Settings

Tenant-wide configuration changes. Multiple Platform Sections capture different setting areas:

Verified live (Action Title × Platform Section pairs as displayed in the Audit Log):

| Action Title                         | Platform Section  | Description format           | Recorded when                                                        |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Saved Dynamic Column**             | `Dynamic Columns` | `Column Name: <name>`        | A dynamic column is saved at [Settings → Schemas](/settings/schemas) |

## Integrations & Vitals

Lifecycle and configuration of connected tools. **Platform Sections: `Integrations` and `Vitals`.**

Verified live (Action Title × Platform Section pairs as displayed in the Audit Log):

| Action Title                            | Platform Section | Description format                                                                     | Recorded when                                                                              |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Connected System**                    | `Integrations`   | `Name: <integration>` or `Name: <integration>, Tenant Name: <tenant>` for multi-tenant | A new integration connection is added (or the second tenant of a multi-tenant integration) |
| **Registered Multi-Tenant Integration** | `Integrations`   | `Name: <integration>, Tenant Name: <tenant>`                                           | Multi-tenancy is enabled and additional tenants are registered                             |
| **Enabled Vitals**                      | `Vitals`         | `System: <integration>`                                                                | A Vitals row is turned on for an integration after first sync                              |

| Integration auth revoked        | Vendor-side revocation detected         |
| Vitals configuration edited     | Per-column gear → Configure Mode change |

## Actions & automations

Action Center lifecycle. **Platform Section: `Saved View Actions`** (the underlying name reflects Actions being scoped to saved views).

Verified live:

| Action Title                  | Platform Section     | Description format                                                                                                                               | Recorded when                                  |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Created Saved View Action** | `Saved View Actions` | `Action: <action name>, AutomationType: <type>` (e.g. `AutomationType: webhook`, `AutomationType: sendemail`, `AutomationType: ` empty for some) | A new Continuous or Snapshot Action is created |

Other events in this area:

| Event                     | Recorded when                            |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Updated Saved View Action | Trigger, automation, or settings changed |
| Paused Saved View Action  | Action paused                            |
| Deleted Saved View Action | Action removed                           |

Automation **executions** (each fire of an email / ticket / webhook) appear primarily in the per-Action **Automation Log** (right panel of [Action Center](/action-center)), not the global Audit Log. The Audit Log captures Action lifecycle events; the Automation Log captures fire events.

## Saved views & exports

**Platform Section: `Saved Views`.**

Protect distinguishes Shared, Team, and Private saved views via separate Action Titles:

| Action Title                         | Platform Section | Description format                 | Recorded when                                        |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Created Shared Device Saved View** | `Saved Views`    | `Saved View (active): <view name>` | A new saved view with Everyone visibility is created |
| **Created Team Device Saved View**   | `Saved Views`    | `Saved View (active): <view name>` | A new saved view with Team visibility is created     |

Other events in this area:

| Event                                               | Recorded when                                                  |
| --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Created Private Device Saved View                   | Private visibility saved view                                  |
| Created … User Saved View                           | Same pattern, on User Inventory                                |
| Updated / Deleted Saved View                        | View modified or removed                                       |
| Visibility changed                                  | Private ↔ Team ↔ Everyone                                      |
| Export run                                          | A CSV / JSON / XLSX export is generated from a grid            |
| Scheduled Report created / updated / deleted / sent | [Scheduled Reports](/scheduled-reports) lifecycle and delivery |

## Devices & inventory

Devices themselves are largely managed via integrations; operational events on devices are sparse.

| Event                      | Recorded when                                                              |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Device manually tagged     | A tag is applied to a device manually (rare — most tagging is rule-driven) |
| Device data filter applied | A filter scoping a user's device view changes                              |

## API & access

| Event                     | Recorded when                                                       |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| API token created         | New API key issued at [Settings → API Access](/settings/api-access) |
| API token disabled        | An API key is suspended via the row's **Disable key** button        |
| API token deleted         | An API key is removed via the row's **Delete key** button           |
| SSO configuration changed | [Access Control](/access-control) SSO setup change                  |

## Reporting

Events from the Reporting surface.

| Event         | Recorded when                     |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| App created   | A Reporting app is created        |
| App published | A Reporting app is published      |
| App pinned    | An app is pinned to the left rail |
| App unpinned  | An app is unpinned                |
| App deleted   | A Reporting app is removed        |

## Filtering and export

The Audit Log grid uses **plain-text search** across visible columns — it is not the [query language](/query-language) used elsewhere. For structured filtering, export the log and process externally, or pull via the API.

For SIEM ingest workflows, see [Settings → Audit Log → Export](/settings/audit-log#export).
