Asana Audit Log API API

Asana's audit log is an immutable log of [important events](/docs/audit-log-events#supported-audit-log-events) in your organization's Asana instance. The audit log API allows you to monitor and act upon important security and compliance-related changes. Organizations might use this API endpoint to: * Set up proactive alerting with a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool like [Splunk](https://asana.com/guide/help/api/splunk) * Conduct reactive investigations when a security incident takes place * Visualize key domain data in aggregate to identify security trends Note that since the API provides insight into what is happening in an Asana instance, the data is [read-only](/reference/getauditlogevents). That is, there are no "write" or "update" endpoints for audit log events. Only [Service Accounts](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/service-accounts) in [Enterprise Domains](https://asana.com/enterprise) can access audit log API endpoints. Authentication with a Service Account's [personal access token](/docs/personal-access-token) is required. For a full list of supported events, see [supported AuditLogEvents](/docs/audit-log-events#supported-audit-log-events).

  title: Asana Allocations Audit Log API API
  description: The Asana Allocations API allows users to manage and allocate resources within their Asana project management system. An allocation object represents how much of a resource (e.g. person, team) is dedicated to a specific work object (e.g. project, portfolio) over a specific period of time. The effort value can be a percentage or number of hours.

    The audit log API allows you to monitor and act upon important security and compliance-related changes. Organizations might use this API endpoint to:


    * Set up proactive alerting with a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool like [Splunk](https://asana.com/guide/help/api/splunk)

    * Conduct reactive investigations when a security incident takes place

    * Visualize key domain data in aggregate to identify security trends


    Note that since the API provides insight into what is happening in an Asana instance, the data is [read-only](/reference/getauditlogevents). That is, there are no "write" or "update" endpoints for audit log events.


    Only [Service Accounts](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/service-accounts) in [Enterprise Domains](https://asana.com/enterprise) can access audit log API endpoints. Authentication with a Service Account''s [personal access token](/docs/personal-access-token) is required.

      summary: Asana Get audit log events
      description: 'Retrieve the audit log events that have been captured in your domain.


        This endpoint will return a list of [AuditLogEvent](/reference/audit-log-api) objects, sorted by creation time in ascending order. Note that the Audit Log API captures events from October 8th, 2021 and later. Queries for events before this date will not return results.


        There are a number of query parameters (below) that can be used to filter the set of [AuditLogEvent](/reference/audit-log-api) objects that are returned in the response. Any combination of query parameters is valid. When no filters are provided, all of the events that have been captured in your domain will match.


        The list of events will always be [paginated](/docs/pagination). The default limit is 1000 events. The next set of events can be retrieved using the `offset` from the previous response. If there are no events that match the provided filters in your domain, the endpoint will return `null` for the `next_page` field. Querying again with the same filters may return new events if they were captured after the last request. Once a response includes a `next_page` with an `offset`, subsequent requests can be made with the latest `offset` to poll for new events that match the provided filters.


        *Note: If the filters you provided match events in your domain and `next_page` is present in the response, we will continue to send `next_page` on subsequent requests even when there are no more events that match the filters. This was put in place so that you can implement an audit log stream that will return future events that match these filters. If you are not interested in future events that match the filters you have defined, you can rely on checking empty `data` response for the end of current events that match your filters.*


        When no `offset` is provided, the response will begin with the oldest events that match the provided filters. It is important to note that [AuditLogEvent](/reference/audit-log-api) objects will be permanently deleted from our systems after 90 days. If you wish to keep a permanent record of these events, we recommend using a SIEM tool to ingest and store these logs.'
