Tracking Apono system changes and gaining an understanding of administrative actions is crucial for control over change management:

  • Changes occur without a clear audit trail, making accountability difficult.

  • Lack of visibility into events can delay issue resolution and introduce security risks.

The Audit Log page provides a record of administrative events in the Apono admin console, detailing who did what, when, and where, to ensure transparency and accountability.

You can create an to automatically send Apono audit log notifications to a target system whenever an audit log event occurs.
