Introduction

This article will show how to create a custom audit event with a custom name and dynamic/static attributes inside a flow. The audit event can later be shipped to an external source, e.g., using the DataDog connector.

The Action

Create a new action by selecting the Generate Audit Event under the Actions sections inside the flow builder:

Fields overview

Step Name: The name that will be displayed inside the flow builder UI. Name it as informative as you can.
Action: The machine name of the action will be the title for the whole event.
Type: The "Level" of the audit event - information / Warning / Error.
Data: A key-value pair of the data you would like to enter
Keys will hold the field's name that will hold the data.
Type (inside Data): The type of the field - choose dynamic for a field you would like to populate from the flow context.
Value: The value for that field. Upon choosing dynamic, auto-completed can be used.

The Audit Page

When an event has been successfully created, you can also observe it here in the audit page:

Shipping Logs

Connectors inside Descope can take those "User Defined Events" to your external source. Here is an example of how it is shown with DataDog.
