Monitor compliance with the Domino Audit Trail

Domino records user and system activity across your Domino deployment for compliance verification, security investigations, and audit reporting. DevOps managers, IT administrators, and compliance teams use it to monitor activity, investigate incidents, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

It supports SOC 2, GxP, and other regulatory requirements with a complete activity record that supports 30-year data retention.

Access

Access to audit data requires one of these roles: CloudAdmin or GovernanceAdmin.

Audit types

Domino provides two audit capabilities: Platform events and Workspace File audits.

Platform events

Platform events track administrative and user actions within the Domino UI. When users create projects, modify datasets, change roles, or access data, Domino logs the event with a timestamp, user and target resource. Export audit data for external reporting and archival. Access Admin > Audit Trail to investigate:

  • Project, dataset, and environment management

  • User, role, and permission changes

  • Job, app, workflow, and model lifecycle events

Workspace File Audit

Workspace File Audit captures file-level access within workspaces. It records when users view, download, or modify files in NetApp Volumes or Domino Datasets. Export audit data in CSV or Parquet format for compliance reporting and archival. Use Workspace File Audit to analyze:

  • Track file views, downloads, and modifications at a granular level

  • Data access patterns for GxP compliance or sensitive data monitoring

Platform events and Workspace File Audit are often used together to establish a complete audit history. Workspace File Audit is disabled by default in Domino Cloud - contact Domino Support to enable it.
