Audit Logs

Zoho Analytics allows you to track the activity of all users -- Administrators, Users, Shared Users, Viewers and Public Visitors -- in your account, through Audit Logs. You can track the following information through the Audit Logs.

  • Access Logs - This enables you to monitor access of all the views present in your organization, by users (including public visitors).
  • Activity Logs - This enables you to monitor the activities performed in your organization by users.
  • API Logs - This enables you to monitor the API call usage in your organization.

When you set up Audit Logs, a workspace named Zoho Analytics Audits will automatically be created in your account. Rows added in this workspace will not be counted in your account usage & subscription pricing.
