Auth logs
Auth logs provide a complete history of all authentication activities performed by users on your application. Use them to monitor user access, troubleshoot issues, and maintain security compliance.
What you can track
Section titled “What you can track”Auth logs help you answer important questions about your authentication system:
- Who has successfully logged into your application in the last 24 hours?
- What authentication methods have been used by users?
- When did specific authentication events occur?
- How did your app interact with ScaleKit during authentication?
These records are essential for security audits, compliance requirements, and incident investigation.
Authentication statuses
Section titled “Authentication statuses”Auth logs display four different statuses that help you understand where users are in the authentication flow:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Initiated | The user has started the authentication process by hitting the /oauth/authorize endpoint. This indicates they’ve begun the authorization flow but haven’t completed it yet. |
| Pending | This represents the transitional state between initiation and completion. During this phase, the system performs a series of redirects while exchanging user profile details for authorization code grants, and the authentication is still in progress. |
| Success | A successful exchange of the code grant has occurred, and the system has verified the user’s identity and granted them access. The authentication flow has completed successfully. |
| Failure | The authentication process failed and access was denied. This could be due to invalid credentials, network issues, or other authentication failures. |
Using filters
Section titled “Using filters”When investigating incidents or troubleshooting issues, use filters to narrow down the log data and pinpoint what went wrong.
Available filters
Section titled “Available filters”- Time range - Filter logs by specific date and time periods
- User email - Search for authentication events from specific users
- Authentication status - Filter by successful, failed, or pending authentication requests
