We’d like to know centrally when any of our devices have been accessed via SSH, preferably knowing audit information such as who accessed the device, and at what time. I was wondering if there was any means to audit SSH access to our fleet devices? When we Balena SSH over the Balena VPN - is there…

Hello Louis, BalenaCloud does not have the feature of generating audit trails/logs for devices’ SSH access. We do understand the need & utility of the feature and hence are already working on building it. We cannot yet provide a date for its availability though. We do have server side log statemen…

Thanks for the details @pranavpeshwe , it’s very helpful. It’s great to hear you are developing this feature. I understand that you are not able to provide an exact date, but do you know if it would likely be available this year or next? Would it be possible to subscribe to the development of this…

Hi Louis, Please give us some time to get back on this. We need to discuss priorities internally before committing anything. Thanks and regards, Pranav

Hi Louis, I will keep you posted on the feature development of audit logs, I can’t promise it’ll be before the end of the year, but I can provide some updates on our next check in!

Reviving and old thread to request a status update on this feature. Thanks!

I would be interested in such feature also
