GovernanceAudit Records and API Logs

API logging

Review recorded SDK and API request activity

Available to Flex Plus and Enterprise customers.

API Logs record supported request information for SDK and API activity that uses project API keys. Use these logs to monitor usage, debug integrations, and support query-audit workflows.

API logs track requests made with project API keys. Webapp requests are not included. For webapp activity, see Audit logging.

What is logged

An API log entry can include:

FieldDescription
TimeWhen the request was made
MethodHTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
EndpointThe API endpoint called
StatusHTTP status code (2xx, 4xx, 5xx)
LatencyResponse time in milliseconds
API KeyWhich API key was used (name + masked key)

Viewing API logs

Access API logs from your account settings:

  1. Navigate to Account Settings in the Zep dashboard
  2. Select API Logs from the sidebar
  3. Browse the chronological list of requests

Results are sorted by most recent first.

Query audit

Use the endpoint, time, API key, status, and request correlation information that is available in API Logs to review graph-search and context-retrieval activity. API Logs show the recorded API request. They do not reconstruct an arbitrary generated answer.

To audit an answer to its source data, your application must retain the retrieval results and the source episode references that it used for that answer.

Access control

Viewing API logs requires the API Logs View permission. Configure this through managing team access.
