Re: auditing password changes - Splunk Community

Security

Hi,

Is there any record of when a password is changed for user accounts? I need to audit it for a security request.

If your context is Splunk's internal authentication system, then yes. Password changes produce an entry in the _audit index:

index=_audit "action=password change"

Will show you the relevant log entries.

If you are using an external authentication mechanism (AD/LDAP), you will probably need to go to the source. But I am not sure about that one.
