Audit logs
This page covers audit log access for Operators and Viewers. If you are an Admin, see Review audit logs in the Admin guide for the full reference, including compliance workflows and data retention.
Audit Logs record every action automatically. They're read-only and can't be edited, deleted, or cleared.
Operators and Viewers can't view Audit Logs directly, but Admins see all your actions (scans, profile selections, deployments, rollbacks) automatically.
If you're an Admin: use this page to understand the data captured, how to filter it, and how to use it for compliance and governance.
Open Audit Logs
In the sidebar, select Audit Logs.
What gets logged
Every significant action in NimbusWiz creates an audit log entry, including:
- Role changes (who changed whose role, and to what)
- System registration, updates, and deletion
- Scan starts and completions
- Upgrade profile selections
- Deployment starts, completions, failures, and rollbacks
- API key generation and revocation
- Integration configuration changes
- Settings changes at the organization level
Read the audit log
The Audit Logs page lists entries in a table, newest first. Each row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Timestamp | The date and time of the action in UTC |
| User | The email address and role of the user who performed the action |
| Action | The type of action: Apply, Rollback, Simulate, Register, or Delete |
| Target | The system or resource the action was performed on |
| Details | A plain-language description of what was done. For Apply and Rollback actions, it includes previous and new values plus duration. For failed actions, it includes the failure reason. |
| Status | Success, Failed, or Pending. Failed entries display a red badge |
Filter the audit log
To find specific entries, use the filter controls above the table.
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Action | All Actions, Apply, Rollback, Simulate, Register, Delete |
| Status | All Statuses, Success, Failed, Pending |
| User | All Users, or a specific user by email address |
Export the audit log
Export Logs is a planned feature currently in progress.
To export the log, select Export Logs in the upper corner of the Audit Logs page.
Compliance use cases
Audit Logs support several common compliance and governance scenarios.
Change management
To produce a record of all upgrade and rollback activity, including who initiated each action and whether it succeeded, filter by Action "Apply" or "Rollback."
Failed action investigation
To identify all failed actions across the platform and the users who performed them, filter by Status "Failed." Combine with the Action filter to narrow to a specific operation type, for example all failed deployments.
Incident investigation
To reconstruct the sequence of actions a user performed, filter by a specific User. Combine the output with the Troubleshooting log viewer for a complete picture.
Registration audit
To see all system registration events, including which user registered each system and when, filter by Action "Register."
