Audits
In the IoT Platform Portal, the Audit view displays all the actions made by Users. Each row represents a different Audit entry.
The auditing feature enables administrators and users to track activity, (both in the IoT Platform Portal and using the REST API), including changes in Devices, Rules, Applications and Users.
Various entities, (such as Applications) have a configurable retention period, which specifies the number of days to keep the Audit entry in the database (cyclic buffer). This retention period is set by the API.
The Audit list displays the following columns of information. All information in this window is read-only:
