| Events |
Events are authentik's built-in logging system. Every event is logged, whether it is initiated by a user or by authentik.
Certain information is stripped from events, to ensure that no passwords or other credentials are saved in the log.
About notifications
Events can be used to define notification rules, with specified transport options of either local (in the authentik UI), email, or webhook.
About logging
Logging of events in authentik provides several layers of transparency about user and system actions, from a quick view on the Overview dashboard, to a full, searchable list of all events, with a volume graph to highlight any spikes, in the Admin interface under Events > Logs.
For more information refer to our Logging documentation.
Event retention and forwarding
The event retention setting is configured in the System > Settings area of the Admin interface, with the default being set to 365 days.
If you want to forward these events to another application, forward the log output of all authentik containers. Every event creation is logged with the log level "info". For this configuration, it is also recommended to set the internal retention time period to a short time frame (for example, days=1).
