Activity Logs

The Activity Logs page provides a centralized view of all system events, allowing platform engineers and administrators to track actions across the StackGen platform. This feature captures and indexes every agent invocation, chat interaction or user interaction. In other words, the 5 W's – Who, What, When, Where, Why, making them available for search, filtering, and drill-down inspection.

With Activity Logs, you can:

• Audit system usage and agent activity.
• Filter by user, appStack, action, or time range.
• Inspect detailed event payloads for troubleshooting and compliance.

The most common use cases of these logs are:

• Audit: See which user added or removed resources from a topology.
• Compliance: Track ownership and changes across AppStacks.
• Debugging: Inspect resource-level JSON logs for troubleshooting.

Let's learn about Activity Logs in detail.
