How can we view all Settings changes?

ASE — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 06:49:46 GMT

As we continue to grant more users access to Dynatrace, we want to ensure we can track any and all Settings changes.

Is there a way to view all Settings changes made and by whom?

It's not always easy to view Revision History for every single setting, without clicking into every single setting.

In some cases, there is no Revision History.

Thank you.

The changes are available through the Audit logs:

Thank you for your reply, @AntonioSousa.

We will make sure to enable this.

We've just enabled Log Audit Events and can now see what we needed to see.

Is there any other way to view the audit logs outside of the Dynatrace REST API? Something a little more non-technical user friendly and easy to read.

For example, are the audit logs visible via the Logs & Events app like other system events are?

Hi,

Base on documentation, only via API.

You can raise a product idea.

Best regards

Starting relatively recently (~ June 2024), settings audit logs are also written to the dt.system.events bucket so can also be queried via the Logs & Events app in advanced mode - a starting point might be the query

fetch dt.system.events | filter event.provider == "SETTINGS" | sort timestamp desc
