Event Schema Quick Reference

Field	Description	Example values
`@usr.email`	Actor email	`alice@example.com`
`@evt.actor.type`	How action was taken	`USER`, `API_KEY`, `SUPPORT_USER`
`@action`	Verb	`created`, `modified`, `deleted`, `accessed`, `login`
`@evt.name`	Event category	`Dashboard`, `Monitor`, `Authentication`, `Access Management`
`@asset.type`	Resource type	`dashboard`, `monitor`, `api_key`, `role`, `user`
`@asset.id`	Resource identifier	`abc-123`
`@metadata.api_key.id`	API key used (if applicable)	`key_abc123`
`@metadata.app_key.id`	App key used (if applicable)	`app_abc123`
`@network.client.ip`	Client IP address	`1.2.3.4`
`@network.client.geoip.country.name`	Country	`United States`
`@network.client.geoip.as.name`	ASN name	`Amazon.com`

Search Syntax

Same Lucene-style syntax as Log Explorer:

Query	Meaning
`@evt.name:Dashboard`	Exact field match
`@action:deleted`	Action filter
`@usr.email:alice@example.com`	Specific user
`@evt.name:Monitor AND @action:modified`	Compound
`-@action:deleted`	Negation
`@usr.email:*`	Field exists
`@network.client.ip:1.2.3.4`	IP filter

Retention

Default retention is 90 days. If querying beyond 90 days, archive to S3/GCS/Azure Blob must be configured. Always check whether the requested time window falls within retention before running a query.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Fix
403 Forbidden	Missing `audit_logs_read` scope	Add scope to app key in Datadog UI
Empty results	Time window outside retention	Check archive config; default max is 90 days
Timeout	Query too broad	Narrow time window or add more filters
No IP data	Internal action or pre-enrichment event	Not all events have geo data
