Audit Logs Export (CSV Download) in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge Audit Logs Export lets authorized users download filtered audit history as CSV. Each export supports up to 500,000 records and stays available for 30 days. Audit Logs themselves are retained in-app for 60 days.

Audit Logs Export adds a CSV download to Sparkforge's Audit Logs experience. Authorized users can export filtered audit history for compliance reviews, investigations, and internal reporting. The feature is rolling out through Labs first, so some accounts need to enable it in Agency Settings before it appears.

Why Export Matters

Portable records: Pull audit history out of Sparkforge for storage, review, or external analysis.
Compliance and investigations: Keep durable evidence for security reviews and audit prep.
Background processing: Exports run async, so you can keep working while the file generates.
Controlled access: A dedicated Export audit logs permission gates who can pull the data.
Traceability: Export requests and downloads are themselves recorded in Audit Logs.

Permissions

Exported files may contain sensitive data, so access should follow least-privilege practices. Notes:

By default, Agency Owners, Agency Admins, and Account Admins can grant this access.
A user can view Audit Logs without being able to export them.
Grant export rights only to users who need the data for compliance, reporting, or investigations.

How to Manage Access

Agency: Settings > Team. Open the user profile to review roles and permissions.
Sub-Account: Settings > My Staff. Open the user profile to review roles and permissions.

The Exports Tab

The Exports tab is the central place to track export jobs. When the feature is enabled, the Audit Logs page shows two tabs:

The existing Audit Logs tab for viewing and filtering activity.
A new Exports tab for tracking export jobs.

Once an export finishes, eligible users can download the CSV from this tab. Export requests and downloads are also logged in the Audit Logs module.

Limits, Performance, and Retention

Item	Detail
Records per export	Up to 500,000
Processing	Asynchronous (background)
File availability	30 days after generation
Expired files	Re-export required
In-app Audit Logs retention	60 days

Because in-app retention is 60 days, regular exports help preserve longer history outside the platform.

How to Export

Go to Settings > Audit Logs in either Agency or Sub-Account view.
Stay on the Audit Logs tab and apply the filters you want.
Click Export.
Open the Exports tab to monitor status and download the CSV when ready.
To audit export-related actions themselves, filter Module > Audit Logs in the Audit Logs view.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can export Audit Logs?

Only users with the Export audit logs permission can request and download exports. Agency Owners, Agency Admins, and Account Admins manage that permission.

Do exports include every audit record?

No. Exports use the filters you have applied in Audit Logs at the moment you click Export.

How many records fit in a single export?

Up to 500,000 records per export. If your filtered result is larger, narrow the filters and export in segments.

How long is the CSV available to download?

Completed export files remain available for 30 days. After that, you have to request a new export.
