Overview#
Edge Network maintains a detailed audit trail of all activity across your account and infrastructure. Every action, from user sign-ins to configuration changes, is logged with timestamps, IP addresses and contextual details.
The audit log is essential for:
- Security investigations: Quickly identify unauthorised access attempts or suspicious activity patterns.
- Compliance audits: Demonstrate adherence to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and other frameworks.
- Change tracking: Understand who changed what and when, for troubleshooting and accountability.
- Operational visibility: Monitor team activity and infrastructure operations in real time.

Accessing the audit log#
- Go to Account → Activity in your console.
- You’ll see a chronological list of all recent activity.
- Use the filters to narrow down by service (Account, CDN, Compute, DNS) or event level.
- Use the search box to find specific events by keyword.
Event details#
Each audit log entry includes:
- Timestamp: When the event occurred (UTC)
- Service: Which service the event relates to (Account, CDN, Compute, DNS, Storage)
- Event type: The specific action that was performed
- Severity level: Info, Success, Warning or Error
- Description: Human-readable summary of the event
- Actor: The team member who performed the action (for accounts with multiple members)
- Source: How the action was triggered: Web (console), CLI or API
- IP address: Source IP for user-initiated actions (where applicable)
CLI and API attribution#
Actions performed via the Edge CLI or API are automatically tagged with a CLI or API badge in the activity log. This helps teams distinguish between automated actions (scripts, CI/CD pipelines) and manual changes made through the console.
Filtering and search#
The audit log provides several ways to find the events you’re looking for.
Filter by service#
Click the service buttons (All, Account, CDN, Compute, DNS, Storage) to show only events from that service.
Filter by severity#
Use the dropdown to filter by event level: Info, Success, Warning or Error.
Keyword search#
Enter keywords in the search box to find events containing that text. This is useful for finding events related to specific resources (e.g. a VM name or domain).
