Export the audit log

Every state change in FortressFlag lands in an append-only audit log: who did it, what changed (with before and after values), when, and from where. When an incident review asks “what changed at 14:32?” or an auditor asks “show me who touched production in March”, this is the screen — and the export — that answers.

You’ll need to be an Admin or Owner; the log names your teammates and traces their actions, so it’s the team’s oversight surface, not its day-to-day one.

Open Admin → Audit. The newest events are on top, and the filters cut the list down to the question you’re actually asking: by member, by action, by the resource touched, by time. Combine them — changes to this flag, by this person, this week — and the answer is usually a screen, not a search.

A few things you’ll notice in the entries:

  • Toggles show before and after, so “who turned it off” and “what was it before” are the same lookup.
  • Applied production proposals name both people — proposer and approver.
  • Some entries have a machine as the actor: changes made by your identity provider through provisioning are attributed to the provisioning token, not to a person. That’s accurate — that’s who did it.

The CSV export takes your current filters with it — filter first, then export, and the file contains exactly what you were looking at. From there it’s spreadsheet territory: attach it to the incident review, hand it to the auditor, archive it with the quarter’s records.

The log is append-only: entries are written by the system as changes happen, and there’s no edit or delete — not in the dashboard, not for Admins, not for us. What it says happened, happened.
