To help you track development, maintenance, and usage information regarding your websites, Site Factory includes the Audit log, which contains this information in a single location, which can be filtered to display specific items.
Viewing the Audit log
To display the Audit log:
Sign in to the Site Factory interface as a user with the Platform admin role.
In the admin menu, click Administration.
Click the Audit log link.
The Audit log page displays the following information about audited actions in a table:
ID - Internal identification number for the action
Message - Descriptive message of the action that was taken
Scope - The feature affected by the action, from the following list:
both
centralized role management
factory
require HTTP authentication
site actions
sites
VCS_info
Context - The website or site group (if applicable) for the action
User - The user or internal account associated with the action
Time - The date and time that the action was started
Filtering the displayed results
By default, the Audit log page displays all of the audited actions for the Factory and its websites. To better enable you to find information that relates to your interest, you can limit the displayed information using the following filter lists on the webpage:
Scope
Context
User
Source - The starting point for the action, from the following values:
Factory UI
REST API
Drush
For example, if you wanted to display only those actions that relate to a specific website, in the Context list, select the website in which you are interested. The Audit log page will refresh, and the displayed table will display only those actions that relate specifically to that website.

To view additional information about a specific item, click the ID number from the action’s ID column. Site Factory will display additional details about the action, including the following:
