Activity Audit Trail

The Activity Audit Trail feature allows for the retention of activity audit records of user actions and key events, such as project version component and vulnerability records, in the application affecting a project and/or project version.

This feature is disabled by default for fresh installations.

Tip: Disabling this feature can increase performance and decrease storage costs.

  2. Click Admin button.

  3. Click Data Retention on the left-hand menu.

  4. Click the Activity Audit Trail tile.

  5. Click the checkbox slider to display Enabled.
