Audit Trail (Vote on this Idea, not it's dupes)

I think it would be good to have time stamp or properties info for each element on Marketo.

For example, for each Smart List or List under Lead Database, it should have info about who created the list, when created, last updated, last updated by etc.

This will give very good transparency for multiple users.

This will definitely help!

Additional feature: Please track channel changes in Audit trail. These are SO CRITICAL to overall organizational function that I cannot believe it's not already tracked in the logs.  When a change is made in admin to a channel please log the:

  • Channel Name
  • Status (new value, old value)
  • Step Value (new value, old value)
  • User that made the change

Hi everyone!

Please have a look at a blog post I wrote about Audit Trail for additional details as well as the product documentation (links below). The biggest thing I want everyone to understand is that Audit Trail is an evolving feature! This is the starting point and we're auditing a LOT of great info and will continue to add auditing capabilities across more areas of the product. Also important to note, is that because this is a new capability, the auditing of data/activity began on Sept 14, 2016. This means that you will only be able to view history from that point forward. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for all of your contributions.

Docs to review:

Thanks,

Christina

Already using this feature Thank you!

I'm so excited about this. Just had a flow deleted from a master template and have no idea who did this or when (other than within the last 7 days)

Just wanted to provide a quick update. Audit trail will be live in our Q3 release. I think everyone will be very happy with it. We will be publishing to our docs site a complete list of what is being audited and what is not. There are some items which we'll add to audit trail in our Q4 release (those details will be provided later.) There will not be a beta so once the release is out, everyone will get it. I'll update more as I get closer to the date. Thanks!

Hello,

Good news! We've made significant progress on Audit Trail and it will be done this year, tentatively planned for our Q3 2016 release. Here's the break down:

  • All customers will get it for free! We will add a new permission in admin so you can decide which roles will have access to it.
  • Audit trail will be split into three components:
    • Asset Audit Trail - will track the create, edit and delete actions that users do on all assets, programs, campaigns and lists inside of Design Studio and Marketing Activities. We'll include date/timestamp, username, action and what they did.
    • Admin Settings Audit Trail - will track the actions done inside of the admin section of Marketo. Think of this as auditing admins. We'll include date/timestamp, username, action and what they did. For example, who created/deleted a user, who changed the login password requirements etc.
    • User Login History - will be exactly what it sounds like, a login history of each user in a subscription. This will include details such as date/timestamp, username, IP address, failed login attempt and more.
  • Each of the above will be presented in a nice UI (thanks Sindhu Amugothu​) that will expose data for the last 30 days at a time. Why 30 days? There is a LOT of data! We want to give you access to a subset of information in the UI so you can easily scan for and search for specific pieces of data in a quick manner.
  • If you need anything beyond 30 days, you can get it via a csv export up to a max of 180 days.

Audit trail will not include versioning and rollback...sorry, I know some of you want this. The goal for this project is to expose the activities happening within your subscription including who did what and when. Ideally, this information can help you determine what changed so you can either change it back or go directly to the person who made the change.

I invite you to post comments to this thread or to me directly. Thanks everyone for your patience, I'm excited to be leading this project and getting it off the ground. I'll continue to provide updates as we make further progress.

Amongst other, import audit trail is needed.

January 25, 2016

Hi Gregoire,

To clarify, do you want to know when an import happens and who did it? If that's the case, we will be including that in the audit trail!

Hi Christina Fuentealba,

Yes, this is exactly this. Thx for letting us know. Any ETA ?

Your feedback (and that of your colleagues) on all the other points in this post Just do it! Marketo so-called minor missing features  would be welcome.

Hi Everyone!

I'm a UX Designer at Marketo and I'm working on a couple designs for the Audit Trail project! I'd love your feedback and input on some of these designs. Please let me know if you're interested and we can set up some time to chat.

Thanks!

Hello Sindhu,

I am so excited about this badly needed feature. I would love to chat with you about it. If you will send me a meeting request, I’m available all of next week.
