Audit Log

The Audit Log provides organization administrators with comprehensive tracking of all actions performed within Valohai, helping you meet compliance requirements, debug issues, and maintain accountabil

Why audit logging matters

In AI and ML development, accountability and traceability aren't just best practices—they're essential.

With regulations like the EU AI Act, organizations must demonstrate control over their AI development and deployment pipelines. Audit logs provide the detailed, immutable record that lets you trace model origins and ensure development meets compliance requirements.

What audit logs enable

• Ensure compliance: For regulated industries, having a verifiable history of all actions is mandatory. Audit logs act as an evidence trail, critical for compliance audits and legal investigations.

• Debug issues: When something goes wrong, you need to know exactly what actions were taken and by whom. Audit logs pinpoint the source of problems quickly and with clarity.

• Maintain accountability: In large teams, it's essential to know who is responsible for each change. Audit logs provide a clear picture of individual contributions and actions across your organization.

Key capabilities

Activity tracking

Captures all relevant activities with detailed information about who performed the action, what was done, and when it occurred.

Every log entry includes:

• Who performed the action

• What action was taken

• When it happened

• Where the action originated (IP address, location)

Immutable records

Audit logs cannot be modified or deleted through the UI or API. This safeguards the integrity of the log and ensures you always have an accurate, unchangeable record of all actions.

Long-term retention

Events are retained for 180 days from the date of occurrence, providing a comprehensive record over an extended period.

Export capability

Export filtered logs in CSV format for integration with your reporting or audit processes.

View limitation

The audit log view displays the 500 most recent entries. All entries are available via export.
