Activity Feed Event Types

For a complete list of all event types that appear in the Activity Feed, see Atlas Alert Event Types.

The following event types are specific to log export:

Log export has failed. Check your integration settings and credentials.
Log export is failing after multiple attempts. Logs are being queued and will be sent once the connection is restored.
Log export replay has failed to deliver records to an external platform, even after an automatic replay attempt. These records will be permanently deleted once their retention window expires. Contact MongoDB Support to request redelivery.
Log export has recovered. Queued logs are ready to resume sending.
Log export has recovered. Queued logs are now being sent.
All queued logs have been delivered to sink.

Isolate User-Specific Activity with Custom Audit Filters

Important

In the updated Data Explorer interface, the Project Activity Feed no longer generates individual entries for CRUD operations or regular index builds. When you access a collection through Data Explorer, the Project Activity Feed records only the following entries, which include the Atlas username:

user connections when you open Data Explorer
A single listIndexStats entry when you access a collection, regardless of how many read or write operations you perform within that collection

To track additional user activity, use database audit logs and create custom audit filters that isolate user activity associated with the following system-generated Administrator roles unique to Data Explorer:

{ role: "atlasDataAccessReadWrite", db: "admin" }
{ role: "atlasDataAccessReadOnly", db: "admin" }
{ role: "atlasDataAccessAdmin", db: "admin" }

For example, you could create a custom audit filter similar to the following:

{
  "roles": {
    "$elemMatch": {
      "$or": [
        {
          "role": "atlasDataAccessReadWrite",
          "db": "admin"
        },
        {
          "role": "atlasDataAccessReadOnly",
          "db": "admin"
        },
        {
          "role": "atlasDataAccessAdmin",
          "db": "admin"
        }
       ]
      }
     }
    }

To learn more about audit logs and review specific examples of role filters, see Configure Audit Filter.
