Complete Visibility is Here: Introducing Altostrat SDX Audit Logs

Have you ever asked: Who changed that setting? What automation ran last night? Why did this configuration suddenly stop working? Answering these questions quickly can mean the difference between a minor hiccup and a major incident.

As teams grow and automation becomes more prevalent, maintaining a clear, comprehensive record of every action becomes essential for security, compliance, and troubleshooting. That’s why we are thrilled to launch one of our most requested features: Audit Logs for Altostrat SDX.

This is more than just a history log. It’s an immutable, searchable, and intelligent record of every significant action taken across your platform; whether by a human user, our AI agent, or an automated workflow.

Your Single Source of Truth for Every Action

Found under Settings > Audit Logs in your SDX portal, this new feature provides a complete, chronological answer to "who did what, and when?" It’s the digital security camera for your entire platform, capturing every important event to give you unparalleled visibility and control.

What makes our Audit Logs truly powerful is that they track actions from all three types of actors in our ecosystem. In the portal, you’ll see each event clearly tagged:

1. User Actions
This is the foundation of any audit trail. See exactly which team member created, updated, or deleted a resource. Whether it's a junior admin modifying a setting or a senior engineer deploying a new policy, you’ll have a clear record of their actions.

2. AI Actions
As our agentic AI and workflows begin to perform tasks on your behalf, you need to trust but verify. Our Audit Logs provide a complete trail of actions taken by AI agents using a user's credentials. If an AI-driven optimization adjusts a network policy, you'll see a record of it, tagged as an AI action, giving you full transparency into automated decision-making.

3. Workflow Actions
Automated workflows are fantastic for efficiency, but they can be a black box when something goes wrong. Audit Logs pull back the curtain, showing you every API call made by your automated processes. If a nightly script fails, you can instantly see the exact request it made and the error it received, dramatically cutting down on troubleshooting time.

Find What You Need in Seconds with Powerful Search

A log is only as good as your ability to find information within it. We’ve built a powerful and intuitive search interface that lets you pinpoint the exact event you’re looking for, instantly.

You can filter your logs by any combination of factors:

Date Range: Investigate an incident that happened last Tuesday between 2:00 and 3:00 PM.

User: Trace every action taken by a specific team member.

Action Type: Show me only DELETE operations.

Outcome: Find all failed API calls (4xx or 5xx status codes).

Free-Text Search: Instantly find any log containing a specific IP address, endpoint, or keyword like "firewall."

This isn't a slow, cumbersome search. The entire system is built on a high-performance, serverless architecture that sifts through millions of records to deliver results in milliseconds.

The Details That Matter: What’s in an Audit Log?

Each event record is rich with context, giving you everything you need to understand the full picture:

Who: The user, AI agent, or workflow that initiated the action, including their name and email.

When: A precise, down-to-the-millisecond timestamp.

What: The exact action taken (e.g., POST /workspaces/{id}/organizations), including the full request data.

Where: The IP address and user agent the request originated from.

The Outcome: The status of the action (e.g., 201 Created or 403 Forbidden) and the response from the server.

Why Audit Logs are a Game-Changer for Your Business

This feature is a critical tool for any organization that values security, accountability, and operational excellence.

Enhance Your Security Posture: Immediately detect and investigate unauthorized or suspicious activity.

Slash Troubleshooting Time: When something breaks, your first stop is the Audit Log. Pinpoint the exact change that caused the issue and resolve it faster.

Meet Compliance Requirements: Effortlessly generate reports and provide evidence for internal or external audits (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).

Build Trust in Automation: Confidently adopt AI and automated workflows, knowing you have a complete, auditable trail of every action they perform.
