Logs

Logs show every authentication event your DC sensors report. Open Identity, then select Logs in the sidebar. The page is titled Access Logs.

You can also reach it from the Dashboard with View all access logs.

Two toggles reduce noise:

  • Exclude intermediate — hides intermediate steps of a sign-in.
  • Exclude benign noise — hides normal Kerberos pre-authentication codes (14 and 25).

Details drawer​

Open the drawer to see:

  • Failing sources — sources with repeated failures.
  • Recent events — the latest events.
note

Logs show raw sensor events. When an identity source is in Monitor mode, every sign-in is allowed. The verdict a policy would have applied is not listed. Use Dry run on the Policies review step to test what a policy would do.

tip

No events at all? Check the Sensors and Protection columns on Identity Sources. A sensor counts as live only if it sent an event in the last 15 minutes. See Install the DC Sensor.
