Please can you answer the following questions which are related to the logging and storing of audit log files and user activity logs within Alloy.
- How long is the log data stored for?
- Is the log data separated and centralised?
- Is the log data backed up? If so, how long is the log data backed up for?
- Is the log data aggregated and consolidated?
- Does the logging system use end to end logging?
- Do you have any alerts configured for log data? If so, what type of events trigger these alerts?

**How long is the log data stored for?**
This is configurable by the user for both audit and auth logs. By default it is indefinite, or it can be configured to be any number of days
**Is the log data separated and centralised?**
The log data is stored within the customer database.
**Is the log data backed up?If so, how long is the log data backed up for?**
Same backups policies as the rest of the customer data apply
**Is the log data aggregated and consolidated?**
Logs are stored as transactions (differential transaction for audit change logs) and are not aggregated or consolidated
**Do you have any alerts configured for log data?**
**If so, what type of events trigger these alerts?**
We log failed login attempts for admins to review via log extracts but no alerts are set up for auth logs. Alerts are however configured in our end-to-end monitoring tool to notify us of performance degradation events.
