Audit features

In this section, we will discuss some of the audit features that an administrator must be aware of to debug and troubleshoot in case of some issues that might creep into the system. We will discuss audit log, e-mail log, Apex job, and scheduler monitoring in this section.

Audit log

Administrators should often be able to track changes made to the data objects in Salesforce during the setup phase of the environment. To facilitate this, the setup audit trail functionality is available.

Users need to navigate to Setup | Security Controls | View Setup Audit Trails.
