New events in Google Chat audit logs
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.
