High-Performance, Selective Audit Trail & Data Security Logging for Odoo 15
Track who changed what value, and when on sensitive modelsâwithout paying the performance penalty of a full database audit trail.
Zero overhead on unmonitored models, human-readable diffs, and tamper-proof log entries!

Why Suffer Performance Loss From Bloated Audit Trail Modules?
Generic audit modules log every field on every model, forcing every write() call in Odoo to compute and store heavy diffs. Audit Log Light takes the opposite approach: nothing is logged by default. In-memory caching ensures unmonitored models pay zero database overhead, while sensitive data (contacts, pricing, access rights) remains 100% accountable and secure.

Key Features & Capabilities
Targeted security tracking designed specifically for speed, precision, and compliance.
Granular Audit Rules
Configure active rules per model (auditlog.rule). Choose exact fields to watch, or opt in to "Track All Stored Fields". Enable Create, Update, or Delete tracking independently.
Human-Readable Diffs
Values are automatically formatted for readability: Many2one fields display record names instead of IDs, Selection fields show labels, and Booleans display "Yes/No".
Tamper-Proof & Read-Only
Audit log lines (auditlog.line) are completely read-only via UI and API. Log lines are created exclusively by elevated backend context (sudo()) and cannot be altered.
Automated Data Retention
Built-in scheduled action (ir.cron) automatically purges entries older than a configurable retention window (default: 365 days) to keep database size optimal.
Technical Architecture & Performance Design
Built directly onto Odoo's abstract base model for effortless, high-speed execution.
