What are Event Logs?

Event Logs are timestamped records of everything that occurs within your Organization. Event Logs are accessible to Admins and Owners from the Manage tab of your Organization Vault:

{% image /organizations/event-logs-updated.png Event Logs %}

Events Logs are exportable and accessible from the /events endpoint of the Bitwarden Public API.

Events

Event Logs record roughly 40 different types of events. The Event Logs screen captures a Timestamp for the event, client app information including application type and IP (accessed by hoving over the {% icon fa-globe %} globe icon), the User connected to the event, and an Event description.

{% callout info %} Each Event is associated with type code (1000, 1001, etc.) that identifies the action captured by the event. Type codes are used by the Bitwarden Public API to identify the action documented by an event. {% endcallout %}

API Responses

Accessing Event Logs from the /events endpoint of the Bitwarden Public API will return a JSON response like the following:

{
  "object": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "object": "event",
      "type": 1000,
      "itemId": "string",
      "collectionId": "string",
      "groupId": "string",
      "policyId": "string",
      "memberId": "string",
      "actingUserId": "string",

    }
  ],
  "continuationToken": "string"
}

SIEM and External Systems Integrations

When exporting data from Bitwarden into other systems, a combination of data from the Exports, API and CLI may be used to gather data. For example, using Bitwarden RESTful APIs to gather data around the structure of the organization:

• GET /public/members returns the Members, Ids, and assigned groupIds
• GET /public/groups returns all the Groups, Ids, assigned Collections, and their permissions
• GET /public/collections returns all Collections, and their assigned Groups

Once you have the unique ID for each member, group, and collection, you can now use the CLI tool to gather information using the CLI command bw-list retrieve the following items in JSON format:

• Org Members
• Items
• Collections
• Groups

After gathering this data, you can join rows on their unique Ids to build a reference to all parts of your Bitwarden Organization. For more information on using the Bitwarden CLI, see The Bitwarden command-line tool (CLI).
