Notifications
Cloud infrastructure constantly changes to meet the demands of modern applications. One of the fundamental assumptions of Turbot is that the management and governance of these applications must also be dynamic - Turbot responds in real time to changes in your environment to assure that your applications continue to operate securely and reliably. The Activity page provides visibility into the changes that are occurring in your environment.
Notifications represent significant events in the lifecycle of your infrastructure, including:
- History of change for a resource (e.g. my-bucket).
- A log of state changes and actions performed by a control (e.g. my-bucket Tags).
- Changes to policy settings, and the specific policy values they update.
- Records of permission grants, activations, deactivations and revocations.
Bucket created notification when it detects that a new S3 Bucket has been created.
This notification includes the bucket name, the creation time, and the person who created it, as well as detailed log information.
Turbot maintains a history of all notifications that you can search and filter, providing an audit trail of everything that occurs in your environment. Turbot notifications contain detailed information about who made the change, the state/value before and after, the timestamp, and other important information. You can use the activity pane to determine who made a change, the difference between the before and after values, and the subsequent related events. In addition, you can view patterns in activity to help determine impacts, systemic problems, and other trends.
Activity
Activity logs are displayed throughout the Turbot user interface. These are available and browsable on demand, including historical information.
Notifications may be filtered and queried using the Turbot filter language
