Trail — Audit Logging, Observability & Security Monitoring

Trail is Azul Tech's centralised audit logging, observability and security monitoring system. Every security and operational event across the estate is captured as it happens, sealed into a cryptographically chained record that cannot be altered after the fact, and made searchable for investigation and compliance reporting.

Measured impact

  • Tamper-evident audit trail across every system
  • Unauthorised access attempts detected as they happen
  • Compliance-ready evidence exportable on demand
  • Institutional knowledge searchable by meaning, not just keywords

What we delivered

  1. 01Audit logging and event tracking: real-time capture of logins, file downloads and system activity, each entry carrying a timestamp, severity level, the affected entity and the actor responsible.
  2. 02Cryptographic integrity verification: every entry is hash-chained to the one before it, so the dashboard can confirm a verified chain and any tampering with historic logs becomes evident.
  3. 03Identity and access monitoring: authentication activity and success rates are tracked continuously, surfacing failed login attempts that signal unauthorised access.
  4. 04Knowledge base vectorization: active documents are indexed into vector chunks, powering semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation over institutional knowledge.
  5. 05Log storage and search analytics: OpenSearch underpins storage and querying, with fast search, system health checks and JSON log exports for compliance reporting.
