What is Audit Trail?

An audit trail in the context of a generalized artificial intelligence (Gen AI) platform refers to a chronological record of activities or events performed within the platform. It serves as a comprehensive and transparent history of actions taken in the platform, enabling accountability, traceability, and the ability to review and understand the sequence of events.

Key components of an audit trail in a Katonic AI platform may include:​

  1. Information of the new user created - It will contain the email-id of the user logged in into the platform,username, first name , last name, role assigned while creating the user, the different types of deployments like model, app and launcher deployments, user based restrictions we use for chat/search file uploads and max websites and the user id.

  2. Gen-AI Deployments - It will contain the information of the newly created or deleted model, app and launcher deployments. It also contains the information of the prompts created.

  3. Workspace Deployments - It contains the information about the newly created or deleted workspaces.

  4. Errors and warnings - Details of errors and warnings occuring during events. #How to use the Audit Trail?
