About Global Logs
Use App management > Logs to review instance-scope log views across an AlloyScan deployment.
Global logs are different from Site Settings logs. Site logs answer "what happened in this Site?" Global logs answer "what happened at the instance level, or across Sites when all-site visibility is enabled?"
Note: This page covers instance-level administration in App Management. It is used by Global Administrators.

The global log group includes:
- Notifications
- Change log
- Security log
Scope comparison
| Surface | Scope | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Site Settings > Logs | One current Site | Diagnose audit, scan, notification, change, and security activity for one Site |
| App management > Logs | Whole instance | Review global events or all-site log visibility for Global Administrators |
Global Notifications log
The global Notifications log records notification-delivery events at instance scope. Deployments that expose all-site visibility can show site notification logs in the global grid and add a Site column.
Use this view when an issue spans multiple Sites or when a Global Administrator needs to find which Site produced a notification event.
Global Change log
The global Change log records instance-scope configuration changes and, where enabled, can include all-site visibility for configuration events.
Use this view to audit cross-tenant changes such as Site, global template, license, or global resource updates.
Global Security log
The global Security log records security-relevant events at instance scope. Visibility depends on deployment configuration.
If the Security log menu is missing, verify that the surface is enabled for the deployment before treating it as an RBAC problem.
Constraints
- Global logs are available to Global Administrators.
- Feature flags can hide Change log or Security log entries from the UI.
- Retention details can vary by log type and deployment. The Security log uses deployment-level retention; other retention values should be verified before promising exact periods.
