Audit Trail for GitOps
View all GitOps-related events tracked in Harness Audit Trail.
Harness captures key GitOps events in the Audit Trail to help you track changes, enforce governance, and meet compliance requirements.
This page lists all GitOps-specific audit events currently supported in Harness.
Supported GitOps Audit Events
GitOps audit events are recorded for changes made via the Harness API as well as background changes triggered by the GitOps reconciler (for example, when resources are deleted directly from the cluster instead of through the Harness UI).
Applications
Create Application
Update Application
Delete Application
Sync start
For applications created and managed via ApplicationSets, only Delete and Sync start events are supported in the audit trail.
ApplicationSets
Create ApplicationSet
Update ApplicationSet
Delete ApplicationSet
GitOps Agents
Create GitOps Agent
Update GitOps Agent
Delete GitOps Agent
Git Repositories
Create Git Repository
Update Git Repository
Delete Git Repository
Repository Credential Templates
Create Credential Template
Update Credential Template
Delete Credential Template
GitOps Clusters
Create GitOps Cluster
Update GitOps Cluster
Delete GitOps Cluster
Repository Certificates
Create Certificate
Update Certificate
Delete Certificate
GnuPG Keys
Create GnuPG Key
Update GnuPG Key
Delete GnuPG Key
System Reconciler Events
Delete events triggered by the GitOps reconciler are also tracked.
For example, if a GitOps-managed resource (such as an Application or Repository) is deleted directly from the cluster (for instance, via Argo CD), Harness detects the change, reconciles the state, and records the corresponding delete event in the audit trail.
