Audits and changelog
Review operational history
Audit records and the changelog answer different questions:
- Audits: who/what changed data in this workspace or performed a recorded action.
- What’s new / Changelog: product updates published to operators.
Audits
The audit list/detail pages can show actor, action/event, affected model/record, time, old/new values, and request/context metadata where captured. Access is permission-gated.
Open Insights → Audit trail. The page header shows three counts: all events recorded, events today, and events in the last 7 days. Four cards below it show All events, Today, Updates and Deletions. These counts refresh about every 30 seconds.
Filter the audit trail
You can narrow the list with five filters:
| Filter | What it matches |
|---|---|
| Event | One of 5 types: Created, Updated, Deleted, Restored or Action |
| Model | The kind of record changed, such as a subscriber or payment |
| Operator | The staff member who made the change |
| From / To | A date range |
| Search | Text in the URL, IP address, user-agent or model name |
The list loads 50 rows at a time. Scroll down to load the next 50. Click a row to open its detail page with the old and new values.
Use audits to investigate:
- subscriber status/profile changes;
- settings updates;
- login/denied activity where recorded;
- payment/invoice/expense changes;
- staff/role actions;
- destructive or bulk operations.
An absent audit row does not prove an event never happened. Not every external provider/router action produces the same application audit. Correlate with domain records, provider references, router logs, and timestamps.
Changelog
The sidebar can show an unread indicator for a newly published entry. Open What’s new to read operator-facing releases. Opening the page clears the dot. It comes back only when a newer entry is published. Your browser remembers what you have read for 1 year.
Each entry carries one of 5 labels: New feature, Bug fix, Improvement, Announcement or Release. Entries are listed newest first, 50 at a time. Each one has a share link to the same entry on the public Centipid changelog.
Changelog text explains product changes. It is not a transaction/audit record and does not override current UI behavior.
Investigation workflow
- Record exact time/timezone, user, ISP, and affected record ID.
- Open the record’s own activity/history.
- Search audits around the time.
- Compare old/new values and actor/context.
- Correlate with provider/router/message status where relevant.
- Preserve evidence before corrective action.
- Avoid placing secrets or unnecessary personal data in investigation notes.
