the plate for the lesson The audit log

The log is what an auditor is handed. It is append-only, so it records the correction rather than replacing the mistake.

Where it happens

Settings, in Trust. This lesson is part of the For the whole practice track.

What this lesson covers

  1. Step 1

    What it records

    Who opened which record, what they changed, what the software did on their behalf, and when.

  2. Step 2

    Append-only

    A wrong value that is corrected leaves both the old value and the new one, with the name of whoever changed it.

  3. Step 3

    What the software did

    Every action auro takes carries a receipt saying what it saw, what it chose, under whose authority, and what happened next.

  4. Step 4

    Read one entry end to end

    Start from a number on a screen and finish at the action that made it. That walk is the whole lesson.

After this lesson

You can start at any value in the practice and reach the action that produced it.

The Academy keeps a record of what each person has completed. It is a record, not a credential: auro accredits no one, and no lesson carries CE or CEU credit.
