Audit for Syskit Point Settings

This article describes how Data Center customers can access the audit log for all changes made in Syskit Point settings.

Please note! Settings audit logs are readily available for Data Center customers. SaaS customers are advised to contact Syskit Support if they require audit logs for changes made in Syskit Point settings.

Syskit Point logs all changes in settings along with important additional information, such as the user who changed a setting, which setting was changed, as well as the values before and after the change, thus providing a complete picture of what was changed, when, and by whom. The Audit Log for your Point Settings can be accessed through the Application Insights resource.

No additional configuration in Syskit Point is needed to log the changes in Settings. This is done automatically.
