Sentinel
Payload Sentinel is an audit logging plugin for Payload CMS that tracks user CRUD operations.
Installation
pnpm add payload-sentinel About
Payload Sentinel is an audit logging plugin designed for Payload CMS. It tracks all user create, update, and delete actions, storing them in a centralized audit log collection. This logging is automatic and requires no configuration, ensuring that all user activities are captured accurately and conveniently. The plugin integrates natively with Payload's built-in versioning system, allowing users to view the history of changes made to documents. While versioning is not mandatory for logging to function, enabling it enhances the utility of the audit logs by allowing diff views. Customization options are limited, but users can consult the provided `config.ts` file for any available settings. Payload Sentinel has no external dependencies and is compatible with Payload CMS version 3.81.0 and above. Future enhancements include an analytics panel and support for internationalization.
