Use the Mammoth Activity Log as an audit log
The Activity Log is Mammoth's audit trail: a record of who did what, when and on which resource in your workspace. Open it with Monitor in the left sidebar, then the Activity Log tab. Workspace Owners and Workspace Members can view and export it; your project role doesn't affect access, and how far back it reaches depends on your plan.
For day-to-day use of the log, see Activity log.
Open the Activity Log
- Click Monitor in the left sidebar.
- Select the Activity Log tab.
What the Activity Log records
| Category | Events logged |
|---|---|
| Dataset | Create, rename, duplicate, delete, add data, combine, replace, delete batches, suspend and resume batches |
| View | Create, rename, delete, rerun |
| Pipeline | Add, edit, rename, delete, suspend and restore tasks and actions |
| Automation | Create, edit, rename, delete, update |
| Connector | Create, edit and delete connections |
| Project | Create, rename, delete, property updates |
| Folder | Create, rename, delete |
| Dashboard | Publish, unpublish, share, update dashboard access, export dashboard |
| Parameter | Create, edit and delete parameters, parameter groups and snippets; rerun stale pipelines after a parameter or snippet changes |
| Workspace | Rename workspace, invite users, remove users, delete invites, update two-factor enforcement |
| Data Retention | Create, edit, delete and run retention policies; retention approval requests |
Across categories, the log also records moving an item to trash (for example Move dataset to trash), restoring it (for example Restore dashboard) and archiving it.
Each entry shows:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Date | When the action happened |
| Events | The action type, for example Create dataset or Edit automation |
| Details | A description including resource names |
| Object | The affected resource, with a link |
| Category | The resource type, colour coded |
| Author | The workspace member who did it |
Choose the time range
The log defaults to Last 30 days. Use the date control to choose Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, This week, Last week, Last 30 days, Last 3 months, Last 6 months, This quarter, Last quarter, Year to date (YTD) or Custom.
Filter the log by event, category or author
Use the column header controls:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Events | A specific action type |
| Category | Automation, Connector, Dashboard, Data Retention, Dataset, Folder, Parameter, Pipeline, Project, View, Workspace |
| Author | A specific team member |
You can combine filters, and they also apply when you export.
Review who was invited to or removed from the workspace
- Filter Events to Invite users to workspace, Remove user from workspace and Delete invite.
- Read each entry's timestamp and author.
If Mammoth turns on workspace-wide 2FA for your workspace on request, the Workspace category shows it with the detail "Two-factor authentication is now required for all users", and "Two-factor authentication is no longer required" when it's turned off. See Security.
Export the audit log
- Click Export (top right). The Export file as... menu opens.
- Choose CSV, XLSX or Mammoth Dataset.
- Click Confirm.
Mammoth exports the log with your active filters and date range applied. Clear all filters before exporting to get the full log for the selected period.
| Format | Use case |
|---|---|
| CSV | Spreadsheet review, bulk analysis, external audit tools |
| XLSX | Excel-compatible reporting |
| Mammoth Dataset | Load into a project to query and analyse with pipelines |
Limits: how far back the log reaches
| Plan | Activity Log history |
|---|---|
| Free | 7 days |
| Starter | 90 days |
| Team | 1 year |
| Pro | 3 years |
Older activity isn't available on your plan. Mammoth shows a banner in the Activity Log when your plan limits the history.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Recent events are missing | The date range defaults to Last 30 days | Widen the range for older activity |
| The export is incomplete | Active filters apply to the export | Reset all filters before exporting |
| Older events are missing | Your plan limits how far back the log reaches | See the history table above |
| The Activity Log tab is missing | Only Workspace Owners and Workspace Members see it | Ask your Workspace Owner to check your role |
