GitOps logs serve as a valuable tool to understand and monitor changes made specifically through GitOps within your workspace. This feature provides a comprehensive record of changes made via GitOps. This record includes, but is not limited to, which repository a change was made in, the commit details, the number of commits made, the entities affected, and any validation errors that occurred during the change process.

GitOps logs are a great way for you to track changes, identify discrepancies, and gain a holistic view of changes that have been made in your workspace. You can access the GitOps log through the Cortex UI or the public API endpoint.

Accessing GitOps logs through the Cortex UI

Navigate to the settings page and select GitOps logs under Authentication and Access in the left-hand menu bar.

When the GitOps log page is selected, you will see a list of logs and associated details. Each log includes applicable information categorized in the following columns:

• Repo - the name of the repository a change was made in
• Commit - record of the changes made in associated repository 
• # of commits - the total number of commits
• Entities - the number of entity or scorecards affected by the change
• Validation errors - any errors that occurred during the PR
• Timestamp - time the change occurred 

Note: If you would like to understand more regarding the details recorded on a specific log, select the desired log to access more information. 

Accessing Audit logs through the public API endpoint

GitOps logs can also be accessed through the public API endpoint. Please refer to our GitOps Logs API documentation to learn how to retrieve audit logs.
