Activity Logs

In Tenable Vulnerability Management, user events are recorded in the activity log. To view the activity log, you must have the Administrator role.

Activity log events may include the following (subject to change):

Action Description
audit.log.view The system received and processed an audit-log request.
session.create The system created a session for the user. A user login triggers this event.
session.delete The session aged out, or the user ended a session.
session.impersonation.end An administrator ended a session where they impersonated another user.
session.impersonation.start An administrator started a session where they impersonated another user.
user.authenticate.mfa Two-factor authentication was successful, and login was allowed.
user.authenticate.password The user authenticated a session start using a password.
user.create An administrator created a new user account.

You can use the Activity Log API endpoint to view audit events programmatically within an instance. You can also use PyTenable to interact with the audit log.
