Monitor activity in Netlify Connect
Netlify provides logs to help you observe and troubleshoot activity on your data layer.
You can access data layer activity logs to review sync activity and the team audit log to review team member activity.
# Review data layer sync events
Logs are retained for 5 days
Currently, Netlify only retains Connect logs for five days. Older events are listed in the Activity section, but the logs are unavailable.
To review sync events for a data layer, navigate to the overview page for that data layer:
- Navigate to the page for your team in the Netlify UI.
- Select the data layer you want to review from the Data layers list.
- Review the Activity section and select a sync event in the list to access the detailed log.
To review the associated data revision for a successful sync, select Revisions.
# Set up Slack notifications
Set up subscriptions to get notified of sync event failures with the Netlify App for Slack. If a data layer sync event fails, the app automatically notifies the Slack channel you specify.
- Follow the instructions to authorize and install the Netlify App for Slack.
- Go to .
- Select Add subscription.
- Select
Connect sync events
as the Event type, and select the Slack Channel to notify. - Select Create subscription.
Note that you can only set up the subscription using the Netlify UI. It is not possible to set up the subscription from a Slack channel.
# Review team member activity
To help you audit and troubleshoot changes to your data layer, Netlify automatically logs changes to the following items in your team audit log:
- API scopes: when a team member adds, edits, or deletes an API scope for a data layer.
- API tokens: when a team member generates, updates, or revokes an API token for a data layer.
- Connected sites: when a team member connects or disconnects a site.
- Cross-references: when a team member adds, edits, or deletes a cross-reference.
- Custom webhooks: when a team member creates or deletes a custom webhook.
- Data layers: when a team member creates, updates, or deletes a data layer.
- Data revisions: when a team member pins or unpins a data revision.
- Data sources: when a team member creates, updates, or deletes a data source.
