Splunk Enterprise Security

Is there an Audit log that tracks changes to content in Splunk Enterprise Security?

We have multiple people making changes to the content in Splunk Enterprise Security and I need to be able to track down when someone changed content.

On Splunk Enterprise 7.0.3, I can see write to content objects using the following search:

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd_conf "data.task"=addCommit "data.optype_desc"=WRITE_STANZA

The data.asse_uri field has the object that was changed and the data.payload has more details For
example, data.payload.children.search.value has the search string written to a report.

Definitely, and I think Adonio is right: all depends what you're after. Given the circumstance you mentioned, audit.log & searches.log (if they piped the output of a search to delete) should have a record. Happy splunking!

there are more answers on this topic in this portal as well
look in _audit and _internal indexes.
you can narrow down by the correlation search name
