Tracking Sentinel Changes with the Built-in Seculyze Change Log

Tracks changes to alert rules incl. value, state, and reasoning: Who changed what and when. No audit log in Sentinel? Now you have one

Updated today

Seculyze includes a built-in change log to provide transparency and accountability for important modifications. In Microsoft Sentinel, there is no native audit trail for configuration or tuning changes made to alert rules or detection logic. Seculyze fills that gap by automatically logging key changes made through the platform.

Where to Find It

In the Seculyze interface, simply click on any alert rule to view its change history. The log is visible directly on the details page.

What Is Tracked

Seculyze captures and logs the following changes with timestamp, the user who made the change and a description of what changed.

1. Alert Rule State

  • When a rule is enabled or disabled

  • Tracks the exact time and responsible user

2. Value Rating

Any change to:

  • Cost rating (Low, Medium, High)

  • Gain rating (Low, Medium, High)

  • Or the combined Value Score

3. Value Explanation

If the reason or justification for a value rating is changed, this is also logged'

4. Comments

The changelog also tracks any changes to the "comment"-box, a Seculyze exclusive feature that allows you and your team to leave comments on Alerts Rules and Log Sources.

Use Cases

  • Improve auditability and team accountability

  • Quickly identify why a rule’s score or state changed

  • Understand value justification over time

  • Support internal documentation and compliance efforts
