Description

It would be nice to have a more detailed audit-trail of changes that users make to objects stored in the db.

ie.

14:00 user johnny deleted group foo. 15:00 sarah created class blah. 16:00 bob modified class blah (show details?).

This way we can see what change may have introduced a problem.

This is a blocking issue for my organization’s use of Dashboard. There are some other big features we need, but with legal compliance issues (Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.) we absolutely need full accountability for changes. At the moment, keeping all of our configs in SVN and using plain node.pp files is our only option. I’d absolutely love to see that changed.

If this is implemented, adding in some sort of comment function when changes are made (so a user could specify the ticket number, management approval information, etc.) would also be very useful.
