Audit Trail is only available in Business plan workspaces.
See the available plans, or contact Support.

The Audit Trail allows you to view user and system activity, filter activity for specific actions or actors, and export your data to an event streams source or CSV file.

Viewing the Audit Trail requires Workspace Owner permissions

You must have the Workspace Owner role to view the Audit Trail page. For more information about roles and permissions within Segment, see the Roles documentation.

To view the Audit Trail:

  1. From the Segment app, select Settings.
  2. From the Settings tab, select Admin.

Audit Trail events

The Audit Trail returns information about the following Segment product areas:

  • Sources
  • Functions
  • Warehouses
  • Destinations
  • Storage
  • Tracking Plans
  • Destination Filters
  • Transformations
  • Audiences
  • Computed Traits
  • Engage Warehouse Sources
  • Profiles Sync
  • Spaces
  • Users
  • Journeys
  • Broadcasts
  • Workspace

To view a list of all events Segment surfaces in the Audit Trail, open the Audit Trail, click Filters, and select the Events dropdown.

Filtering events

Use the Filters dropdown to refine your search results and filter by actions or actors to see who made changes on specific resources in the app. Actors include both logged-in users and access tokens.

Audit forwarding

You can forward events in your workspace to an event streams source to set up real-time alerts and quickly revert changes (like a user unintentionally disabling a warehouse) that could cause unwanted downstream effects.

Segment recommends creating a dedicated source for Audit Trail events

Segment recommends forwarding all events to an instance of the HTTP API source. Segment passes all forwarded events through its entire processing pipeline. This ensures that Tracking Plans, Filters, and other features work with the audit events, and also ensures you can send those events to multiple downstream destinations.

To forward Audit Trail events to an event streams source:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Workspace Settings > Audit Forwarding.
  2. Select or create an event streams source to which you’ll forward workspace events.
  3. Toggle the setting to On and click Save Changes.
