curl --request GET \
--url 'https://example.com/api/admin/audit?limit=25&action=cert.request_refused_network&source_ip=192.0.2.10' \
--header 'X-Ssoossh-Key-Secret: <X-Ssoossh-Key-Secret>'

Returns the administrative audit stream newest first, optionally filtered to one action, one source address, or both. Both filters are exact matches. The source address is the one the server observed for the client the event is about (detail.source_ip), never the approver’s address and never one the client reported. The database copy is a bounded cache of recent events; the shipped audit log is the archive, and any other search happens there. Uses cursor-based pagination (not offset): pass the previous page’s next_cursor as after.

after
string

Audit event ID to start after (cursor): the previous page’s next_cursor

limit
integer

Page size (default 25, max 100)

Example

25
action
string

Only events of this audit action; must be in the taxonomy

Example

cert.request_refused_network
source_ip
string

Only events whose observed source is this IP address

Example

192.0.2.10

Audit events

Media typeapplication/json
object
events
required
Array<object>
object
action
required

Action is the namespaced action name, e.g. “user.disabled”. The set grows without a wire change, so a client must render an unknown action rather than assume the list is closed.

string
actor
object
email
string
groups
Array<string>
subject
string
user_id

UserID is the grouping key the timelines are built on. It may be empty (a system or anonymous actor) and it may no longer match any row, which does not make the rest of the snapshot less true.

string
username
string
created_at
required
string
detail

Detail is the per-action specifics, passed through as decoded JSON so a new action’s fields reach the UI without a wire type change. Never carries a secret.

object
key
additional properties
id
required
string
reason
string
system

System marks an action taken by the server rather than a person, which is how a reader tells “nobody” from “not recorded”.

boolean
target
object
email
string
groups
Array<string>
subject
string
user_id

UserID is the grouping key the timelines are built on. It may be empty (a system or anonymous actor) and it may no longer match any row, which does not make the rest of the snapshot less true.

string
username
string
next_cursor

NextCursor is the after for the following page: the id of this page’s last event, absent on the last page.

string
total
integer

Data is always null on an error response.

error
required

Error is a human-readable message. Branch on the HTTP status rather than this string; it is for humans and logs.

string
error_code
required

ErrorCode is a machine-readable error classifier. One of the error_code constants from internal/apitypes; use this to decide whether to retry or branch on the failure mode.

string

Example

{
"error": "certificate request \"9f1c…\" not found",
"error_code": "not_found"
}
