Ask HN: What do you use for audit logging?

2 points by kirillklimuk 4 years ago | 2 comments

Some companies we've been talking to have requested the ability to see audit logs for actions people take in product and we'd also like to see this for customer support reasons.

We saw a lot of stuff about how to implement it ourselves, but would rather not if we don't have to do it ourselves. What do you use?

What is it you do? I had to build this at a past company and while we looked at some external options, most of the work was in collecting the right data, which had to be bespoke anyway to be useful.

We're building a way for people to build UIs using existing design systems without engineers.

In the past, I've built this in a bespoke way at another company and ran into the problem that I had to also build a bunch of internal tooling to make this useful. Collecting the data was relatively simple, but managing the tooling and making volume changes was not =/
