List audit entries

Listing audit entries returns the account's audit log as a paginated list: who did what, when, from which IP address and against which resource. Every API call is written to it. Use it to feed a SIEM or compliance system, to reconstruct an entity's history, or to surface activity in your own interface.

  • A row for every API call and every significant portal action
  • Filter by action, actor, entity and date; full properties on the show endpoint
For developers

After the technical detail?

For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.

What the check gives you

Reconstructing what happened on the account

Compliance teams need to answer who changed a record and when, and security teams need to feed logins and key usage into their monitoring. The audit log carries both, and the entity filter pulls everything that touched one customer, including their checks, events and notes.

What was done

A machine-readable action key such as created_watcheye_entity, a stable human-readable label, an optional sub-type such as the password or SAML variant of a login, and a description recorded at the time.

Who did it and to what

The agent, a user or an API key with name and UUID where available and null for system actions, the originating IP address, and the subject resource with its UUID where the record still exists.

Only the entries you asked for

Filter by action, action type, user, API key, entity, and created between two times. Newest first by default. The list omits each entry's properties object because it can run to many kilobytes; read it with Show an audit entry.

Questions

Questions we get asked about the audit log

What does our system need to send?
Nothing is required. Optional query parameters are page, per page, the filters for action, action type, user UUID, API key UUID, entity UUID, created at from and created at to, and a sort field.
What comes back?
A data array of audit entries with their UUID, action, label, type, description, client IP, agent, subject and timestamp, a meta object with paging, and an API reference. The properties object is only on the show endpoint.
Does the entity filter cover related records?
Yes. It returns direct actions on the entity plus actions on related resources such as its checks, events and notes.
How is an integration's change attributed?
The agent is the API key, and the entry carries the request's API reference, so a status change or note written by an integration can always be traced to the key and the call that made it.
How many calls can we make?
The default rate limit is 600 requests per minute, enforced in a 60-second fixed window. Requests over the limit receive a 429 response, so pace requests evenly and back off before retrying. A higher limit can be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
Getting started

The first step to access is a conversation

Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
