# Reviewing audit logs for GitHub Copilot

Check for changes to settings or licenses in your Copilot plan.

You can use the audit log to review actions taken in your enterprise. The audit log includes a record of:

* Changes to your Copilot plan, such as changes to settings and policies or a user losing or receiving a license
* Agent activity on the GitHub website

The audit log does **not** include client session data, such as the prompts a user sends to Copilot locally. A custom solution is required to access this data: for example, some companies use custom hooks to send Copilot CLI events to their own logging service.

## Viewing your enterprise's audit logs

1. Navigate to your enterprise. For example, from the [Enterprises](https://github.com/settings/enterprises?ref_product=ghec\&ref_type=engagement\&ref_style=text) page on GitHub.com.
2.

## Searching audit log events

Use the `action:copilot` search term to view all events related to your Copilot plan.

You can also filter by a specific event. For example, `action:copilot.cfb_seat_assignment_created` returns events related to a license being assigned to a new user. For a full list of Copilot events, see [Audit log events for your enterprise](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/monitoring-activity-in-your-enterprise/reviewing-audit-logs-for-your-enterprise/audit-log-events-for-your-enterprise) or [Audit log events for your organization](/en/organizations/keeping-your-organization-secure/managing-security-settings-for-your-organization/audit-log-events-for-your-organization).

To view a record of agent activity, use the `actor:Copilot` search term. See [Audit log events for agents](/en/copilot/reference/agentic-audit-log-events).

## Retaining audit log history

The audit log retains events for the last 180 days. We recommend streaming the audit log to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform, where you can view long-term history and set up alerts for anomalous activity. See [Streaming the audit log for your enterprise](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/monitoring-activity-in-your-enterprise/reviewing-audit-logs-for-your-enterprise/streaming-the-audit-log-for-your-enterprise).
