Audit Log
An audit log is a detailed, time-stamped record of all changes made to digital assets. Aviary developed an audit log and enhanced media file metadata features in collaboration with the University of Alberta Library to help organizations support their larger digital preservation programs.
The Aviary audit log tracks changes to resources, media files, transcripts, indexes, and supplemental files. The audit log also tracks user activity including uploads, edits, deletions, and metadata updates.
This provides a transparent history of who made a change, what was changed, and when they made the changes. Tracking these changes helps to ensure accountability, support security and compliance efforts, and enable organizations to monitor the integrity of their digital assets over time.

Viewing the audit log

To view the audit log for an Aviary organization, click the Audit Log link in the Organization dropdown menu.
