Dynatrace has multiple audit logs, and none of them covers everything. Each log answers a different question, retains data for a different length of time, and is accessed in a different way. Use this page to work out which one you need.

Which audit log do you need?

Audit events cover configuration changes and account-level changes. Ingested records are not audit events, whether the data arrives through the API ingest endpoints, through OneAgent, or through an ActiveGate. Changes to ingest configuration are recorded as settings changes.
