Audit log

What is an audit log?

An audit log is a feature available in Post Affiliate Pro that is a chronological set of records that provides documentary evidence of the sequence of activities that have been undertaken by merchants and affiliate partners in your database. This feature gives you a comprehensive overview with timestamps of all operations, procedures, events, actions made and more in your Post Affiliate Pro account.

What are the benefits of utilizing the audit log?

Internally, network engineers, help desk staff, software developers, and administrators may use log audits to boost performance, increase accountability, and keep systems stable. By keeping log files, you gain historical visibility into activity, so you won’t miss any changes.

Companies can gain insight into who accesses files and documents by tracking how often affiliates and other merchants do so. The creation of a complete audit log would enable companies to keep track of and follow whom within the organization was accessing different files and what they were doing with them. You can use audit logs to also learn about affiliate activity, which could be used to boost efficiency, security, and performance.

Can audit log help with security?

In addition to auditing and tracking merchant/affiliate movements within your Post Affiliate Pro panel, audit logs can be used for several other purposes. For instance, if an error was made in editing a document, or if your organization for some reason lost a bulk of data, an audit trail would allow you to look back at older versions of existing files.

This capability is key for data correction or reconstruction. An audit trail can also help an organization to detect unauthorized system access, failures, vulnerabilities, and more. If your business utilizes Post affiliate Pro to facilitate affiliate marketing, promotion, sharing, collaboration, or storage of various files, documents, and data, then an audit log would be an invaluable aid to the security of the system.
