Filtering logs

In the Coder UI you can filter your audit logs using the pre-defined filter or by using the Coder's filter query like the examples below:

resource_type:workspace action:delete to find deleted workspaces
resource_type:template action:create to find created templates

The supported filters are:

resource_type - The type of the resource. It can be a workspace, template, user, etc. You can find here all the resource types that are supported.
resource_id - The ID of the resource.
resource_target - The name of the resource. Can be used instead of resource_id.
action- The action applied to a resource. You can find here all the actions that are supported.
username - The username of the user who triggered the action. You can also use me as a convenient alias for the logged-in user.
email - The email of the user who triggered the action.
date_from - The inclusive start date with format YYYY-MM-DD.
date_to - The inclusive end date with format YYYY-MM-DD.
build_reason - To be used with resource_type:workspace_build, the initiator behind the build start or stop.

Capturing/Exporting Audit Logs

In addition to the user interface, there are multiple ways to consume or query audit trails.

REST API

Audit logs can be accessed through our REST API. You can find detailed information about this in our endpoint documentation.

Service Logs

Audit trails are also dispatched as service logs and can be captured and categorized using any log management tool such as Splunk.

Example of a JSON formatted audit log entry:
