# Audit events **(PREMIUM)**
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2023-01-13 00:05:48 +05:30
Use audit events to track important events, including who performed the related action and when.
You can use audit events to track, for example:
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2023-01-13 00:05:48 +05:30
- Who changed the permission level of a particular user for a GitLab project, and when.
- Who added a new user or removed a user, and when.
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2023-03-04 22:38:38 +05:30
Audit events are similar to the [log system ](logs/index.md ).
2023-01-13 00:05:48 +05:30
The GitLab API, database, and `audit_json.log` record many audit events. Some audit events are only available through
[streaming audit events ](audit_event_streaming.md ).
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
2023-01-13 00:05:48 +05:30
You can also generate an [audit report ](audit_reports.md ) of audit events.
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
2023-01-13 00:05:48 +05:30
NOTE:
You can't configure a retention policy for audit events, but epic
[7917 ](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/7917 ) proposes to change this.

## Time zones
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2023-03-04 22:38:38 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/242014) in GitLab 15.7, GitLab UI shows dates and times in the user's local time zone instead of UTC.
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2023-03-04 22:38:38 +05:30
The time zone used for audit events depends on where you view them:
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
2023-03-04 22:38:38 +05:30
- In GitLab UI, your local time zone (GitLab 15.7 and later) or UTC (GitLab 15.6 and earlier) is used.
- The [Audit Events API ](../api/audit_events.md ) returns dates and times in UTC by default, or the
[configured time zone ](timezone.md ) on a self-managed GitLab instance.
- In `audit_json.log` , UTC is used.
- In CSV exports, UTC is used.
2022-05-07 20:08:51 +05:30

1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin** .
1. On the left sidebar, select **Monitoring > Audit Events** .
1. Select the available search [filters ](#filter-audit-events ).

## User impersonation
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/536) in GitLab 13.0.
> - Impersonation session events included in group audit events in GitLab 14.8.
When a user is [impersonated ](../user/admin_area/index.md#user-impersonation ), their actions are logged as audit events
with additional details:
- Audit events include information about the impersonating administrator. These audit events are visible in audit event
pages depending on the audit event type (group, project, or user).
- Extra audit events are recorded for the start and end of the administrator's impersonation session. These audit events
are visible as:
- Instance audit events.
- Group audit events for all groups the user belongs to. For performance reasons, group audit events are limited to
the oldest 20 groups you belong to.
## Available audit events
You can view different events depending on the version of GitLab you have.
### Group events

## "Deleted User" events
Audit events created after users are deleted are created for "Deleted User". For example, if a deleted user's access to
a project is removed automatically due to expiration.
Issue [343933 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/343933 ) proposes to change this behavior.
## Unsupported events
2023-04-23 21:23:45 +05:30
Some events are not tracked in audit events. The following epics and issues propose support for more events:

- [Project settings and activity ](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/474 ).
- [Group settings and activity ](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/475 ).
- [Instance-level settings and activity ](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/476 ).
2023-04-23 21:23:45 +05:30
- [Deployment Approval activity ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/354782 ).
2023-06-20 00:43:36 +05:30
- [Approval rules processing by a non GitLab user ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/407384 ).
