Audit Trail
Audit Trail enables the security admin users to track the records of access and activity related to Marketing Cloud. Get Audit Trail records either through data extracts in Marketing Cloud Automation Studio or through REST API extracts. Schedule Audit Trail data to be pulled on a regular basis to use in your own internal system programs.
Audit trail applies to any messaging and customer journey. Allow Audit Trail for any user having Marketing Cloud Security Administrator or having the rights for Audit Logging > Administrator Audit Logging and API Access. To turn on the Audit Trail, in Setup, go to Security | Security Settings and tick the Enable Audit Logging Data Collection checkbox.
Audit Trail data should be read periodically depending on the rolling time frame. For instance, you can use an extract in Automation Studio to get data. Set the range to select a rolling day’s worth of events with the automation to run daily. Automation for the current day means the last 24 hours of events and the automation run for the next day is the current day’s events. Export the data in your system for consolidation and analysis. The Audit Trail is not real time.
