Audit logs (Limited availability)

Logs are structured records that document events, actions, and changes that occur within a system or service. They capture what happened, when it happened, and relevant contextual details that help users understand activity over time. Because they offer a historical record, they support troubleshooting, monitoring, and security analysis.

Audit logs are now available for Cloud Firewalls. Audit logs are time-stamped records of Linode APIv4 operations and login events for supported services. They capture user and system activity in structured JSON Lines (JSONL) format. Audit logs provide an authoritative record of changes and events, forming a critical foundation for security investigations and configuration tracking.

Akamai automatically collects and stores audit logs for supported services for 90 days. To access and view this log data, you must create a stream and configure a destination, such as Object Storage.

To get started with audit logs, see the Logs documentation.
