Problem to solve

We are able to manually stop an environment but this is not logged in auditing. This action is not logged in the audit log, but should be.

Intended users

Users who need this info for compliance, auditing and monitoring of user actions:

• Devon (DevOps Engineer)
• Sidney (Systems Administrator)
• Sam (Security Analyst)
• Dana (Data Analyst)

Further details

• Use Case 1 upon request for manual stops, a user should be able to review stops logged per environment
• Use Case 2 Downloads for audit logs should be include manual stop events

Proposal

Add to the audit log an action for manual stop environment as defined below on stop of the environment (when the expiry time comes)

Author	Action	Target	At
Manual	"Manual Stop environment"	<environment name>	<timestamp>

Permissions and Security

• Changes to audit logs should follow the normal access/permissions of Audit Logs at GitLab
• Downloads of audit logs should follow the normal access/permissions of Audit Logs at GitLab
• Guests/non-GitLab users should not be able to download, edit, or change audit logs

Documentation

• Audit Events Documentation - for audit events permissions and implementation
• Log System Documentation - Administrations of Audit Logs

Testing

• This audit log content needs to be view only by all users, with edit log permissions following the audit log permission structure

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

• The usage of this feature will be related to the downloads of the audit logs, so we should see an increase in audit log downloads for releases when these items are added
• % increase in MAU for release audit logs

What is the type of buyer?
