Can I view the Audit Log for multiple resources at once?

How to use URL parameters to filter the Audit Log across multiple resources, users, and actions.

Written by Ashwath Kirthyvasan

The Audit Log filter panel lets you select one value at a time per filter. If you ever need more advanced filtering, you can do this today by editing the URL directly. This is a tips and tricks approach for now — Orderful plans to bring a more user-friendly experience for advanced queries in future iterations of the Audit Log.

This works for user details, resource, and action filters. Date range and context filters do not support multiple values via URL.


How it works

Repeat the same URL parameter for each value you want to include. Each value will appear as a distinct filter pill in the Audit Log UI — you can remove them individually without clearing all your filters.

Type filters

Map to the User Details, Resource, and Action filters in the UI. Repeat the parameter to include multiple values at once:

URL parameter

UI filter

actorType

User Details

resourceType

Resource

actionType

Action

https://ui.orderful.com/audit-logs?actorType=value1&actorType=value2&limit=25

Specific filters

Also map to User Details and Resource, but scope to a specific user by email or name, or a specific resource by ID. The value uses a type:value format:

URL parameter

UI filter

actor

User Details (specific user)

resource

Resource (specific resource ID)

https://ui.orderful.com/audit-logs?resource=resourceType:resourceId&limit=25


Examples

Filter by multiple specific transactions

https://ui.orderful.com/audit-logs?resource=transaction:123&resource=transaction:456&limit=25

Shows all Audit Log events for transaction 123 and transaction 456 at the same time.

Filter by non-user actions (system and API)

https://ui.orderful.com/audit-logs?actorType=service&actorType=application&limit=25

Shows only automated actions (API, System) — excludes anything triggered by a human user. Useful for auditing platform-initiated events.

Filter by actions from multiple specific users

https://ui.orderful.com/audit-logs?actor=user%3Ajane%40company.com&actor=user%3Abrian%40company.com&limit=25

Shows all actions performed by [email protected] and [email protected].

Filter by multiple action types on a resource

https://ui.orderful.com/audit-logs?resourceType=transaction&actionType=transaction.reprocessed&actionType=transaction.resent&actionType=transaction.sent&limit=25

Shows all transactions that were sent, resent, or reprocessed — useful for investigating delivery activity across your organization.


Tips

  • Combine multiple parameter types in the same URL to build precise, cross-cutting views

  • These URLs can be bookmarked or shared with a colleague — they'll see the same filtered view as long as they have access to your organization's Audit Log

  • Always include &limit=25 at the end to ensure consistent pagination


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set these filters using the filter panel instead?

The filter panel supports one value per filter at a time. For multi-value filtering on user details, resource, or action, editing the URL directly is the way to go today.

Can I do the same for other resource types?

Yes. The same approach works for Deliveries, Attachments, Sender Acknowledgments, and Receiver Acknowledgments — just replace transaction with the corresponding resource type and use the matching IDs.
