Understanding the Audit log
In Chapter 9, Feature Flag Management in Depth, we looked at a historical view of all the changes that are made to an individual feature flag. We established that this was useful for audit purposes and to identify changes that were made to revert to a previous state if needed. LaunchDarkly not only provides this type of information for flags but also for the whole tool itself. The Audit log tracks change across a whole environment. It details information relating to feature flags, including the following:
- The creation, archiving, and deletion of flags
- Changes to the targeting rules of a flag, including the enabling or disabling of the targets
- Experiment changes to a flag, including the reset of the collected data
Additional information is recorded for the creation and deletion of segments. The view of this information is similar to the History section that we looked at for feature flags:
