Audit log

A dated list of who did what in an application: who uploaded, downloaded, shared or deleted what.

An audit log (or activity log) records the relevant actions that happen in an application: who did what, to what and when. It doesn’t store the content, just the fact: “Ana downloaded meeting X on Tuesday at 10:05”.

It’s used to investigate an incident, answer an audit, show a deletion policy was applied or simply find out who shared a link. It also helps with the GDPR’s accountability principle.

  • Uploads, downloads and deletions.
  • Shared links and moves between workspaces.
  • Invitations, role changes, joiners and leavers.
  • API keys, integrations and automatic deletion.

In Echo, workspace owners and admins see the workspace audit log and can export it to CSV; each person sees their own in Settings. The log never stores meeting content. More on the enterprise and security pages.
