Accessing the audit log for your enterprise

You can view aggregated actions from all of the organizations owned by an enterprise account in the enterprise's audit log.

Who can use this feature?

Enterprise owners and site administrators can access the audit log.

The audit log lists events triggered by activities that affect your enterprise. Audit logs for GitHub Enterprise Server are retained indefinitely, unless an enterprise owner configured a different retention period. See Configuring the audit log for your enterprise.

By default, only events from the past three months are displayed. To view older events, you must specify a date range with the created parameter. See Understanding the search syntax.
