Question

Droplet action history on deleted droplets?

Posted March 9, 2021 181 views
APIDigitalOcean Droplets

I’m trying to maintain an audit log of all actions on my 400+ droplets. New droplets are created almost every day and others are deleted. Is there a way to query actions on deleted droplets? Or perhaps DO offers a specific API for this kind of audit log functionality?

Hello @securityelf

Once the Droplet is destroyed, all the data on it will be purged and deleted from our platform. Really sorry for the issue. We absolutely will not have any copy of your information or data with us.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions!

Cheers,
Sri Charan

    Hello Sri,

    I did not mean droplet details, but actions associated with it.

    And actually, I was able to find history events that go back to the first droplet creations made in 2019:

    $ doctl compute action list --resource-type droplet | head
