# Activity Log
> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/docs/llms.txt).
The Activity Log is an audit trail of important changes made across your Alchemy account. It records who did what, when, and from where, so you can answer questions like "who deleted this app?", "when was this access key created?", or "which member changed our billing plan?".
It lives in the [Alchemy Dashboard](https://dashboard.alchemy.com/activity-log).

### Why it matters
* **Security & audit**: Maintain a record of security-relevant changes (logins, access key creation, allowlist edits, and role changes) for incident response and compliance reviews.
* **Accountability**: See which team member (or access key) made a change, and from which IP address.
* **Troubleshooting**: Correlate a configuration change with a change in your app's behavior.
***
## Accessing the Activity Log
1. Open the [Alchemy Dashboard](https://dashboard.alchemy.com).
2. Navigate to [Activity Log](https://dashboard.alchemy.com/activity-log).
Viewing the Activity Log requires an **Admin** or **Owner** [role](/docs/dashboard-roles) on the team. Members with a Viewer or Developer role won't see it.

## What's in the log
Each entry includes the following columns:
| Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Timestamp** | When the action occurred (your local time). |
| **Action** | A human-readable description of what happened (e.g. *App created*, *Login success*). |
| **Actor** | The team member, access key, or system that performed the action. |
| **App** | The app the action relates to, if any. Links to the app when it still exists. |
| **Details** | Additional context about the change. |
| **IP Address** | The source IP address the action came from. |
### What gets logged
The Activity Log captures account- and app-level changes across several categories, including:
* **Apps**: creating, deleting, renaming apps; rotating API keys; managing JWTs and allowlists; enabling/disabling networks.
* **Team & access**: inviting and removing members, role changes, access key creation/deletion, and IP allowlist changes.
* **Authentication**: login success/failure and password resets.
* **Billing**: plan changes, payment methods, usage limits, and usage caps.
* **Alerts, gas policies, and wallet activity**: creating and updating alerts, gas policies/programs, and smart-wallet sessions and signatures.
For the complete, authoritative list of every logged action, see the action reference in the [OCSF Mapping](/docs/activity-log-ocsf-mapping) table, which lists each action alongside its description.

## Exporting to CSV
To pull the log into a spreadsheet or share it with your security team, click **Export** in the top-right of the page. Alchemy generates a CSV (`activity-log.csv`) containing the **Timestamp**, **Action**, **User**, **App**, **Details**, and **IP Address** for the entries in view.
***
## Retention
Activity Log entries are retained for **30 days**. Export regularly, or stream events to your own systems, if you need to keep a longer history.
