Audit Logs
Overview
Audit logs in Akku are a critical feature designed to enhance system security, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide transparency into platform activities. These logs meticulously record all user and administrator actions, including logins, configuration changes, and other system events.
Each log entry captures essential details such as the user’s identity, action type, timestamp, IP address, operating system, device, and activity status. This comprehensive tracking enables organizations to monitor system usage, investigate incidents, and maintain compliance with industry standards.
