Exporting audit logs

Audit logs are records that capture internal activity within an information system. They are essential for maintaining security, compliance, and operational transparency, especially in large organizations. These logs often include information such as user activities, access times, and changes made to data or system configurations.

Deepnote's audit log Export feature

The Deepnote data app provides a notebook specifically designed to export audit logs, allowing users to filter records by criteria like company name and username. This customization enables targeted auditing, making it easier to review specific activities or users within a dataset.

Imagine a large retail company like Walmart using this feature to monitor the activities of a data analyst, Alyssa Edwards. By filtering the audit logs for Walmart and Alyssa's activities, the company can keep track of her interactions with the system, ensuring that her data manipulations are within policy and identifying any unusual activity that might require further investigation.
