Audit logs

Explore the importance of audit logs in enhancing security, compliance, and accountability in digital environments.

The MDM audit log keeps a record of every administrative action taken in device management. Use it to see who changed what, and when, or to produce evidence for a compliance review.


 

Feature/Functionality

Overview

The audit log covers every action an administrator performs in the device management area of the console. That includes:

  • Changes to policies and profiles
  • Remote commands such as wipe, lock and unenrol
  • Enrolment and unenrolment events
  • Software deployment actions
  • Changes to settings

 

How to use

  1. Go to Devices > Audit Logs.
  2. Narrow the list by date range, action type or administrator.
  3. Export the results to CSV when you need them for compliance reporting.

 

Tips and Best Practices

  • Filter before you export. A date range and an action type give you a CSV that answers the question, not the whole history.
  • Filter by administrator to review one person's actions. This is the fastest way to check what a specific admin did.
  • Check the log after sensitive actions. Wipes, locks and unenrolments are all recorded, so you can confirm who triggered them.

 

Troubleshooting and FAQ

Troubleshooting

  • You cannot find an action you expected. Widen the date range and remove any action type or administrator filter, then search again.
