Audit Logs
License Required
Audit logs require the Audit Logs license add-on. Without this license, audit log tracking will not be available.
BadgerPanel maintains a comprehensive audit trail of all administrative and user actions. Use audit logs to track changes, investigate incidents, and maintain accountability.
Viewing Logs
Navigate to Admin > Activity to view the audit log. Each entry shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Actor | The user who performed the action |
| Action | What was done (e.g., server.created, user.suspended) |
| Resource | The affected resource (server, user, node, etc.) |
| IP Address | The IP address the action was performed from |
| Timestamp | When the action occurred |
| Details | Additional context (changed fields, old/new values) |
Filtering
Filter the audit log by:
- Actor - search by username or email
- Action type - filter by specific action categories
- Resource type - filter by servers, users, nodes, billing, etc.
- Date range - select a start and end date
Export
Export audit logs for compliance or analysis:
- CSV - comma-separated values for spreadsheet tools
- JSON - structured data for programmatic processing
Exports respect the current filter settings, so you can export a specific subset of logs.
Server Activity Logs
Each individual server also has its own activity log showing actions specific to that server (power actions, file changes, backup operations, setting modifications). Server owners and subusers can view this from the server's Activity tab.
Logged Actions
The following action categories are tracked:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Servers | Created, deleted, suspended, power actions, resource changes, reinstalled |
| Users | Created, updated, suspended, deleted, role changes |
| Nodes | Created, updated, deleted |
| Billing | Orders placed, invoices paid, services suspended/terminated |
| Support | Tickets created, replied, closed |
| Settings | Panel settings changed, features toggled |
| Authentication | Login, logout, 2FA enabled/disabled, password changed |
