Audit Log Overview
The Audit Logs page provides a complete, tamper-proof record of every significant action taken across your GitSec account — by users, administrators, and the system itself.
How is this different from the Activity? The Activity answers the question "Is my backup job running, and did it succeed?" — it focuses on the operational status of backup and restore jobs. Audit Logs answer a different question entirely: "Who did what, and when?" While a backup failure will appear on the Activity page as a failed job, the Audit Logs record who triggered it or from which IP address. If a user's role was changed, a storage provider was removed, or someone attempted to log in and failed, those events only appear in Audit Logs — never in Activity.
Audit Logs Page
Navigate to Audit Logs in the sidebar to view a complete chronological list of all recorded events. Each row in the table represents a single logged action and includes the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Actor | The user or system component that performed the action. Automated or system-triggered events show a dash (—) in this column. |
| Category | The functional area the event belongs to, such as Auth, Backup, Repository, or Schedule. |
| Action | The specific action that occurred, such as Logged In, Backup Failed, or Triggered By Timer. |
| Description | A short human-readable summary of the event, including relevant identifiers like repository names or usernames. |
| IP Address | The IP address of the actor at the time of the event. System-triggered events display a dash. |
| Region | The geographic region resolved from the actor's IP address (e.g., Istanbul). |
| Timestamp | The exact date and time the event was recorded, shown in UTC along with a relative time label (e.g., 1 day ago). |
Filtering by Category
Use the + Category button in the top-left corner to filter the log by one or more event categories. This is particularly useful when you want to focus on a specific area — for example, viewing only Auth events during a security review, or only Backup and Repository events when troubleshooting a failed backup run.
Exporting Audit Logs
Click the Export button in the top-right corner to download a copy of the current log view. Exports are available in CSV format for use in spreadsheet tools and JSON format for programmatic processing.
