New events in Google Chat audit logs
martes, 27 de octubre de 2020
Quick launch summary
We’ve added audit logging for several new user events in Google Chat. Detailed audit logging is a critical component in effectively managing secure chat usage within your domain.
The new events include:
- Invite sent
- Message edited
- Attachment uploaded
- Attachment downloaded
- Room member added
- Room member removed
We’ve also expanded the information included with each audit log. The following additional fields are now populated for all events if they are available for that event:
- Message ID
- Room ID
- Room name
- Attachment name
- Attachment hash
- External room
- Room history setting
- Recipient
- Attachment URL
Note that these additional fields are only available via the Reports API or security investigation tool.
