# Audit Events Glossary

FenixPyre continuously records activity across your organization - file interactions, administrative changes, user sessions, and agent connectivity - as structured audit events. These events power the [**Audit Logs**](/fenixpyre-for-admins/admin-dashboard/audit-logs/audit-logs.md) dashboard and can be exported through [**Log Streaming**](/fenixpyre-for-admins/admin-dashboard/log-streaming.md) to Splunk, Datadog, or a custom HTTP endpoint.

Every event is classified into one of four categories via its `event_type` field:

| `event_type`   | Category           |
| -------------- | ------------------ |
| `file_access`  | File Access Events |
| `admin_events` | Admin Events       |
| `user_events`  | User Events        |
| `agent`        | Agent Events       |

Within each category, events are further grouped into subtypes. Below is the full list of actions tracked within each subtype, with a one-line explanation of what each one represents.

### Agent Events

### Cross-Cutting Concepts

* **Severity** (`severity`): `info`, `warn`, `error`, `fatal` — indicates how significant the event is.
* **Status** (`status`): `info` or `alert` — flags events that warrant attention.
* **Result status** (`event_result_info.status`): `allow` or `deny` — a `deny` result means the action was blocked (e.g. an unauthorized access attempt), and these events surface in the Audit Logs "Unauthorized Access" views.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fenixpyre.com/fenixpyre-for-admins/admin-dashboard/audit-logs/audit-events-glossary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
