guillotina-audit 2.0.1

Aim of the package?

The main purpose of this package is to enable auditing and monitoring of changes made to Guillotina objects. By integrating Elasticsearch as the logging backend, it allows for efficient indexing and searching of the audit logs.

When an object is created, modified, or deleted within the Guillotina system, the guillotina_audit package captures relevant information about the event, such as the object ID, the timestamp of the action, the type of action (create, update, delete), and any additional relevant data.

This information is then sent to Elasticsearch, which stores it in a structured format. Elasticsearch provides powerful search capabilities, allowing you to query and analyze the audit logs based on various criteria, such as object ID, timestamps, action types, and more.

By logging changes and events in Elasticsearch, guillotina_audit facilitates monitoring and tracking of object activities in the Guillotina system. It helps in ensuring data integrity, tracking user actions, investigating issues, and maintaining a historical record of object modifications.

The package provides an essential auditing layer for transparency and accountability, helping users gain insights into the changes happening within the Guillotina system and enabling effective monitoring and analysis of object-level activities.
