DASF-55 — Monitor audit logs

Source: official compendium, Databricks AI Mitigation Controls, row 57. Snapshot: 2026-10-22; source revision: DASF v 1.1.

Intent and implementation

Audit logs and system tables serve as a centralized operational data store, backed by Delta Lake and governed by Unity Catalog. Audit logs and system tables can be used for a variety of purposes, from user activity, model serving events, and cost monitoring to audit logging. Databricks recommends that customers configure system tables and set up automated monitoring and alerting to meet their needs. The blog post Improve Lakehouse Security Monitoring Using System Tables in Databricks Unity Catalog is a good starting point to help customers get started.

Customers that are using Enhanced Security Monitoring or the Compliance Security Profile can monitor and alert on suspicious activity detected by the behavior-based malware and file integrity monitoring agents.
