Audit Log

This feature is available for Enterprise Edition users only.

The Formance Platform ships with an Audit Log feature that allows you to track all activity within the platform, including activity events from API usage, organisation users, or machine-generated events. This feature is available for Enterprise Edition users.

Initialisation

Contact our support team in order to enable the Audit Log on your deployment. Once set up, logging will start at the current date for all activity on your organization, stacks, and enabled modules.

Concepts

The audit log system operates at three levels:

• Organisation: Providing a detailed overview of all activity tied to the organisation itself, e.g. whenever a user is invited, has their permissions updated, or a new resource is created.
• Resources: Providing a detailed event history of the lifecycle of the Formance Platform deployments created within the organisation.
• Modules: Providing a detailed event history of the modules activity within a stack.

Each event record consists of the following fields:

Identifier	Origin	Date	Action	Data
A unique identifier for the event	The user or system that triggered the event	The timestamp when the event occurred in ISO 8601 format	Code for the event triggered	Additional information about the event

Usage

Organisation logs

Organisation logs provide a detailed overview of all activity tied to the organisation itself. You can access these logs by using fctl with the following command:

fctl cloud org history <organization-id>

The following events are available:

Scope	Event
organizations	organizations.created
organizations	organizations.deleted
organizations	organizations.updated
organizations	organizations.user.deleted
organizations	organizations.user.updated
invitations	invitations.created
invitations	invitations.accepted
invitations	invitations.accepted-from-link
invitations	invitations.rejected
regions	regions.created
regions	regions.deleted
users	users.created
users	users.join-domain
stacks	stacks.created
stacks	stacks.deleted
stacks	stacks.restored
stacks	stacks.updated
stacks	stacks.enabled
stacks	stacks.disabled
stacks	stacks.upgraded

Resources logs

Resources logs operate at the stack level, and provides a detailed event history of the lifecycle of the stack itself.

You can get an overview of these logs by using fctl with the following command:

fctl stack history <stack-id>

This event list is availble through the Formance Platform API (contact our support team for API access).

The following events are availble for the stack resource logs:

Scope	Event
stacks	stacks.disposal
stacks	stacks.disposal-reset
stacks	stacks.warned
stacks	stacks.pruned
stacks	stacks.status.updated
stacks	stacks.reachness.updated
stacks	stacks.module.enabled
stacks	stacks.module.disabled
stacks	stacks.module.status.updated

Modules logs

To access the modules activity logs, navigate to the “manage environments” section or directly access it from here of the console interface. From here, select navigate to the stack that you want to view the Audit Log for.

In the stack information panel, under the Audit logs section, navigate through the “Show logs” button to head to the Audit Log page.

Events available for the modules logs are structured as follows:

Field	Description	Path
Identity	The originating user or machine token	data.identity
HTTP Method	The method used (e.g., GET, POST)	data.request.method
Status Code	The response status code (e.g., 200)	data.response.status_code
Host	The host of the request	data.request.host
Endpoint	The API endpoint accessed	data.request.path
Request Headers	Headers included in the request	data.request.header.*
Response Headers	Headers included in the response	data.response.headers.*
Response Body	Content of the response body	data.response.body
