# Find audit events

Use the Audit Log in the Admin Portal to inspect organization activity, open individual event payloads, and narrow results by event type or time range.

## Before you start

Confirm you have:

* The Account Owner or Account Admin role in the organization. See [Admin Portal roles](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/security/admin-portal-roles.md).
* A Starter or Pro plan if you need events older than the Free preview. The PubNub Audit Log shows the full event history on the Starter and Pro plans. On the Free plan, the PubNub Audit Log shows a preview of the 5 most recent events.

## Open the Audit Log

1. Log in to [Admin Portal](https://admin.pubnub.com).
2. Select your email address in the top-right corner to open the account menu.
3. Select **Organization settings**.
4. Select **Audit Log**.

Events are ordered from most recent to oldest. Select any row to expand it and view the full JSON event payload.

## Filter by event type

1. Select the **Event type** filter above the log table.
2. Select one or more event types.
3. Select **Apply**.

The counter next to the filter (for example, **2/15 filters used**) shows how many event-type filters are active. To clear, open the **Event type** filter and deselect all options.

## Filter by time range

1. Select **Select time range**.
2. Choose a start date and an end date.

The log updates to show only events within the selected period. To clear, remove the time range.

## Use both filters together

Event type and time range filters combine. The log shows only events that match both the selected types and the selected period. Clear either filter independently to broaden the results.
