GitOps logs

GitOps logs serve as a valuable tool to understand and monitor changes made specifically through GitOps within your workspace. This feature provides a comprehensive record of changes made via GitOps. This record includes, but is not limited to, which repository a change was made in, the commit details, the number of commits made, the entities affected, and any validation errors that occurred during the change process.

GitOps logs are a great way for you to track changes, identify discrepancies, and gain a holistic view of changes that have been made in your workspace. You can access the GitOps log through the Cortex UI or the public API endpoint.
