Audit Logs

The Audit Logs feature acts as an auditing tool, listing all events that have occurred in the system.

A log is generated whenever an object is created, updated, or deleted from the system. For example, when you finish registering a new API in the Manager, the log of that creation is saved in the Audit Logs list.
