Audit logs in Enterprise Grid

Audit logs provide a record of changes and usage on Enterprise Grid that help to keep your organisation secure and protect against misuse. You can view audit logs right in Slack, export them as a CSV and use the Audit Logs API to create custom monitoring tools.

Use the Audit Logs API

We built the Audit logs API for Enterprise Grid orgs with security, legal and compliance in mind. Use the Audit logs API to:

• Send data to a security information and event management (SIEM) tool.
• Watch out for potential security issues or malicious attempts to access your org.
• Build custom apps for better insight into how your company uses Slack. 

Note: The availability of audit log data prior to upgrading to Enterprise Grid depends on your previous Slack subscription. To learn more about audit logs, contact our Support team.  

Who can use this feature?

• Org owners and members with the audit logs admin system role
• Available on the Enterprise Grid subscription
