πŸ‘‹ Hey Community! Elana here today from the Audit Log team with some super exciting news: starting November 3, 2025 PST , organization admins will have the power to control App Activity Logs with a new 'Event exclusion' setting in Audit log!

What does this mean?

Previously, Audit log automatically stored third-party Confluence and Jira app API requests for all Cloud Enterprise and Atlassian Guard Premium customers. With the new Event exclusion setting, organization admins will now have the ability to decide whether they want to store these logs. Starting December 1, 2025, these two logs will be disabled by default for all organizations. Organization admins can enable/disable either of these log types in the new β€œEvent exclusion” setting tab.

How does it work?

  • A new toggle will be available in the Audit Log settings under the β€œEvent exclusion” tab starting November 3, 2025.

  • Organization admins can configure these settings at any time after this date.

  • On December 1, the default off setting will be enforced. For any organization admin who does not configure their settings by this date, the default will be set to β€œoff” and these two logs will not be stored.

  • These logs will start being collected automatically as soon as the setting is enabled.

When will this be available?

The new Event exclusion setting will be available to all Cloud Enterprise and Atlassian Guard Premium customers starting November 3, 2025. This new default β€˜off’ setting will be enforced starting December 1, 2025, and will affect UI, Webhook, and API Audit log usage.

We want to hear from you!

Hi @Elana Agarwal .

It's nice to see that you're offering the controls (admins appreciate flexibility). I would have liked to see the default behavior be "on" instead of "off", but we'll set a calendar reminder to ensure we don't miss out on these critical log events.

Can we get a link to where this setting is located?

I am unable to find it.
