Managed database audit logs

Every row change,
captured from the WAL

AuditOwl streams your PostgreSQL write-ahead log into a searchable change history. Know who changed what, when, and how, without adding triggers or slowing down production.

  • SQL-friendly query interface

Built for teams that need a complete, tamper-evident record of data changes

Why AuditOwl

Audit logs that actually reflect your database

Application-level logging misses direct SQL, migrations, and admin scripts. WAL-based capture sees every committed change, the source of truth.

WAL-native capture

Stream logical replication events from PostgreSQL. No triggers, no middleware hooks, no schema changes in your app database.

Search & query

Filter by table, operation, time range, or transaction. Ask questions like “who downgraded this account last Tuesday?” in seconds.

Fully managed

We handle ingestion, storage, retention, and scaling. Connect your database, define what to capture, and start querying.

Before & after values

See old and new row state for updates and deletes. Reconstruct history for compliance, debugging, and customer support.

Low overhead

Logical decoding reads the WAL asynchronously. Your OLTP workload stays fast while changes flow to AuditOwl in near real time.

Compliance-ready

Immutable, append-only change logs with retention policies. Built for SOC 2, GDPR data access requests, and internal audit trails.

How it works

From WAL to answers in three steps

  1. 1

    Connect your database

    Provision a logical replication slot on PostgreSQL. AuditOwl connects as a read-only subscriber, with no writes to your primary.

  2. 2

    We capture every change

    Inserts, updates, and deletes are decoded from the WAL, enriched with metadata, and stored in your dedicated change-log store.

  3. 3

    Query your history

    Use the AuditOwl console or API to browse timelines, diff row versions, and export records for investigations or compliance.

Query interface

Investigate changes like you query data

A purpose-built UI for change history, not a generic log viewer. Drill into a row’s lifetime, filter noisy tables, and share findings with your team.

  • Filter by schema, table, operation, and time
  • Side-by-side before / after diffs
  • Transaction grouping and correlation
  • Export to CSV or JSON for audits
