Audit Logs

Overview

Audit Logs track what users do and any changes made to the system. It'll log everything that happens so we can make sure we're following rules and fix any problems that come up. This includes when someone tries to log in, when settings are changed, or when data is accessed. The goal is to have a clear record of all actions taken in the system. This helps us keep things safe and follow the standards. If there's ever an issue, we can look at these logs to figure out what happened and how to fix it. Overall, it's about keeping everything secure, following the rules, and making problem-solving easier for everyone using the system.
