Audit Logs
Windmill provides audit logs for every operation and action that has side-effects. These logs capture the user responsible for the operation and include metadata specific to the type of operation.
As a user, you can only see your own audit logs unless you are an admin.
Audit Logs can be filtered by Date, Username, Action (Create, Update, Delete, Execute), and specific Operation.
Viewing Jobs metadata from the Audit Logs
You can retrieve the job ID from the job and then access all the job metadata, including the job arguments by fetching the information from the job itself which is stored for as long as the configured retention period.
Backing Up Audit Logs
To back up the audit logs, simply backup the Postgres database or store the logs in a cold archive. In the cloud environment, we employ both methods for backup.
