Azure Devops Audit events - only 2 Days

Z AJ Jones 0

I am only seeing 2 days of events in the Audit. I have read the help document that says it should be 90 days. The screen shot in the help are a bit different than what I see in ADO. There is no date/time filter in my Audit

Thanks to Babafemi Bulugbe for providing valuable insights. As he correctly mentioned, ADO retains audit logs for 90 days. If you are seeing only 2 days of logs, there might be an issue with filters. Ensure that auditing is enabled under Organization Settings > Security > Policies (as shown in his second screenshot) shared by Babafemi and the “Log Audit Events” option should be toggled ON to capture and retain logs. As you can see in Babafemi's first screenshot, the date and time filter section are visible under the Auditing tab. If your UI does not show, then check your ADO permissions (should have Organization Admin). If after all these checks you are still facing the issue, please let us know, and we can help troubleshoot further.

Hello Z AJ Jones ,

Thank you for raising your question in the Microsoft Q&A Community.

To start with, audit logs are available for 90 days only in Azure DevOps Services as you have mentioned. However, since you said the screenshots are a but different, be sure that you have enabled auditing within your ADO and do not confuse this with the Usage tab.

In case you haven't enabled this, click on Policies in your Organization settings then enable the auditing

If you have this enabled, then check the filter in the above screenshot and set the date accordingly.

Let me know if further assistance is required.
