Monitor administrative activity
Monitor Cortex AgentiX management audit logs for administrative and investigative activity, filter log entries, and forward audit notifications to email, syslog, or Slack.
From Settings → Management Audit Logs, you can track the status of all administrative and investigative actions. Cortex AgentiX stores audit logs for 365 days. Use the page filters to narrow the results or manage tables to add or remove fields as needed.
To ensure you and your colleagues stay informed about administrative activity, you can configure notification forwarding to forward your Management Audit log to an email distribution list, Syslog server, or Slack channel.
