About search for the enterprise audit log

You can search your enterprise audit log directly from the user interface by using the Filters dropdown, or by typing a search query.

For more information about viewing your enterprise audit log, see Accessing the audit log for your enterprise.

You can also use the API to retrieve audit log events. For more information, see Using the audit log API for your enterprise.

You cannot search for entries using text. You can, however, construct search queries using a variety of filters. Many operators used when querying the log, such as -, >, or <, match the same format as searching across GitHub Enterprise Server. For more information, see About searching on GitHub.

Search query syntax

You can compose a search query from one or more key:value pairs. For example, to see all actions that have affected the repository octocat/Spoon-Knife since the beginning of 2017:

repo:"octocat/Spoon-Knife" created:>=2017-01-01

The key:value pairs that can be used in a search query are:

Key	Value
action	Name of the audited action.
actor	Name of the user account that initiated the action.
actor_id	ID of the user account that initiated the action.
actor_ip	IP address from which the action was initiated.
business	Name of the enterprise affected by the action (if applicable).
business_id	ID of the enterprise affected by the action (if applicable).
created	Time at which the action occurred. If querying the audit log from the site admin dashboard, use created_at instead.
country	Name of the country where the actor was when performing the action.
country_code	Two-letter short code of the country where the actor was when performing the action.
from	View from which the action was initiated.
hashed_token	The token used to authenticate for the action (if applicable, see Identifying audit log events performed by an access token).
ip	IP address of the actor.
note	Miscellaneous event-specific information (in either plain text or JSON format).
oauth_app_id	ID of the OAuth app associated with the action.
operation	Operation type that corresponds with the action. Operation types are create, access, modify, remove, authentication, transfer, and restore.

To see actions grouped by category, you can also use the action qualifier as a key:value pair. For more information, see Search based on the action performed.

For a full list of actions in your enterprise audit log, see Audit log events for your enterprise.

Searching the audit log

Search based on operation

Use the operation qualifier to limit actions to specific types of operations. For example:

• operation:access finds all events where a resource was accessed.
• operation:authentication finds all events where an authentication event was performed.
• operation:create finds all events where a resource was created.
• operation:modify finds all events where an existing resource was modified.
• operation:remove finds all events where an existing resource was removed.
• operation:restore finds all events where an existing resource was restored.
• operation:transfer finds all events where an existing resource was transferred.

Search based on repository

Use the repo qualifier to limit actions to a specific repository. For example:

• repo:"my-org/our-repo" finds all events that occurred for the our-repo repository in the my-org organization.
• repo:"my-org/our-repo" repo:"my-org/another-repo" finds all events that occurred for both the our-repo and another-repo repositories in the my-org organization.
• -repo:"my-org/not-this-repo" excludes all events that occurred for the not-this-repo repository in the my-org organization.

Note that you must include the account name within the repo qualifier and put it in quotes or escape the / with a \; searching for just repo:our-repo or repo:my-org/our-repo will not work.

Search based on the user

The actor qualifier can scope events based on who performed the action. For example:

• actor:octocat finds all events performed by octocat.
• actor:octocat actor:hubot finds all events performed by octocat or hubot.
• -actor:hubot excludes all events performed by hubot.

Note that you can only use a GitHub Enterprise Server username, not an individual's real name.

Search based on the action performed

To search for specific events, use the action qualifier in your query. For example:

• action:team finds all events grouped within the team category.
• -action:hook excludes all events in the webhook category.

Each category has a set of associated actions that you can filter on. For example:

• action:team.create finds all events where a team was created.
• -action:hook.events_changed excludes all events where the events on a webhook have been altered.

Search based on time of action

Use the created qualifier to filter events in the audit log based on when they occurred.

Date formatting must follow the ISO8601 standard, which is YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day). You can also add optional time information THH:MM:SS+00:00 after the date, to search by the hour, minute, and second. That's T, followed by HH:MM:SS (hour-minutes-seconds), and a UTC offset (+00:00).

When you search for a date, you can use greater than, less than, and range qualifiers to further filter results. For more information, see Understanding the search syntax.

For example:

• created:2014-07-08 finds all events that occurred on July 8th, 2014.
• created:>=2014-07-08 finds all events that occurred on or after July 8th, 2014.
• created:<=2014-07-08 finds all events that occurred on or before July 8th, 2014.
• created:2014-07-01..2014-07-31 finds all events that occurred in the month of July 2014.

Search based on location

Using the qualifier country, you can filter events in the audit log based on the originating country. You can use a country's two-letter short code or full name. Countries with spaces in their name will need to be wrapped in quotation marks. For example:

• country:de finds all events that occurred in Germany.
• country:Mexico finds all events that occurred in Mexico.
• country:"United States" all finds events that occurred in the United States.

Search based on the token that performed the action

Use the hashed_token qualifier to search based on the token that performed the action. Before you can search for a token, you must generate a SHA-256 hash. For more information, see Identifying audit log events performed by an access token.
