What this module does

Audit Log Viewer & Export adds a complete field-change tracking system to Odoo. Configure which models and fields to watch from a simple settings form under Settings › Technical. Every create, edit, and delete operation on those fields is recorded automatically, with the old value and new value stored for every change.

Review changes in a searchable log list, open a side-by-side diff popup to compare old vs. new at a glance, and export any date range to a formatted Excel workbook or PDF report. Set up email alerts so the right person is notified the moment a watched field changes.

📋
Complete Audit Trail

Every field change, record creation, and deletion logged with timestamp, user, model, and field name.

🔍
Side-by-Side Diff

One click opens a diff popup showing the old value (red) and new value (green) side by side for any log entry.

📤
Excel & PDF Export

Export any date range to a formatted .xlsx workbook or a printable PDF report. Filter by model and user before exporting.

🔔 Email Alerts

Assign an alert recipient and select trigger fields. An email is sent the moment those fields change on a single record.

🗓 Auto-Retention

Set a retention period per config. A scheduled job deletes logs older than the limit in batches, keeping the table lean.

📊 Graph & Pivot Summary

Built-in graph and pivot views show audit activity by model, operation type, and date so you can spot unusual patterns.

⚡ Simple Configuration

Configuration lives in Settings › Technical. Pick a model, tick the fields to track, and save. The module patches the model at runtime automatically.

How it works

1 Go to Settings › Technical › Audit › Audit Config and click New.
2 Choose a model (e.g. Sale Order) and tick the fields you want to track. Optionally set an alert recipient and select alert trigger fields.
3 Save the config. The module patches the model in the registry. All changes to those fields are now logged automatically.
4 Open Audit › Audit Logs to see the searchable list. Click View Diff on any row to compare old and new values side by side.
5 Go to Audit › Export, set a date range and optional filters, then click Export Excel or Print PDF.
