FiveM CAD Audit Logs: Track Every Action in Your Community
Learn how CDE CAD's audit log system tracks every action in your FiveM community. From record lookups to admin changes, ensure accountability and transparency with comprehensive activity logging.
Audit Logs Overview
CDE CAD records every significant action taken within your community. From record lookups to report submissions, warrant creation to civilian edits - everything is logged with who did it, when, and what changed. Audit logs are not just a feature; they are the backbone of community accountability. When every action leaves a trail, members act with greater care and integrity. Server owners and administrators gain complete visibility into how the CAD is being used, who is using it, and whether policies are being followed. Whether you are running a ten-person department or a hundred-member community, audit logs give you the data you need to make informed decisions, resolve disputes, and maintain the standards your community expects.
What Gets Logged
Each log entry records the exact date and time of the action, the user who performed it, the specific action type, and any relevant details such as which record was accessed or what value was changed. This creates an unbroken chain of accountability across your entire community.
Filtering and Search
A log system is only as useful as your ability to find what you need. CDE CAD provides powerful filtering and search capabilities that let you narrow down thousands of entries to the exact actions you are looking for. Combine multiple filters simultaneously to perform precise queries - for example, find all warrant creations by a specific officer within the last seven days. Results are paginated with 25 to 50 items per page for easy browsing without overwhelming your screen.
Audit Log Summary
The audit log summary dashboard provides a high-level overview of activity across your community. Instead of scrolling through individual log entries, the summary view aggregates data into meaningful metrics that tell you what is happening at a glance. This is your command center for monitoring community health and engagement.
Security and Compliance
Audit logs are your first line of defense against misuse and policy violations. By analyzing log patterns, you can detect problematic behavior before it escalates into a community issue. Critically, audit logs in CDE CAD are immutable - they cannot be edited, modified, or deleted by anyone, including server owners. This ensures the integrity of your records and guarantees that the data you see is the truth of what happened.
Judicial Action Tracking
The judicial system operates with its own dedicated action log within CDE CAD. Because judicial actions carry significant consequences - fines, suspensions, warrants, and court proceedings - they require a separate, detailed audit trail. Every judicial action records the performing judge, the exact timestamp, and the full context of the decision. Here is what the judicial audit log tracks:
Using Audit Logs for Community Management
Beyond security and compliance, audit logs are a powerful tool for day-to-day community management. They transform subjective observations into objective data, giving leadership the evidence they need to make fair decisions, recognize good work, and address problems before they grow. Here are five practical ways to leverage audit logs for better community management:
