Manage audit logs

Audit logs are crucial for tracking changes and security-relevant events. Dynatrace can log such events so that you can review important changes: when the change was made, by whom, and what was changed.

The following events are logged:

  • Any change to Dynatrace environment configuration
  • Any change to environment API tokens
  • Logins to Dynatrace
  • Logouts from Dynatrace

Audit logs don't include changes to OAuth tokens or changes to Account Management configuration, such as SSO.

Audit logs include personal identifiable information (PII) such as email addresses and IP addresses of Dynatrace users.

Enable audit logging

🔴 Disabled by default

To enable audit logging

Dynatrace retains audit logs for 30 days and automatically deletes them afterwards.

You can also enable audit logs via Data privacy API.
