The primary purpose of Falcon audit logs is to track configuration and administrative changes . Audit logs provide accountability by showing what changed, who made the change, and when it occurred. Examples include policy creation, updates, deletions, role changes, user management actions, IP allowlist changes, and other administrative activity. Tracing file changes is the purpose of file integrity monitoring tools such as Falcon FileVantage, not the general Falcon audit log. Monitoring system performance is handled through sensor health, host status, and operational telemetry rather than audit logs. CCFA emphasizes audit logs as an administrative governance and investigation tool that supports accountability, change review, and security operations oversight.
