Last updated: June 3, 2025

How can I find log source deletion events in Panther audit logs?

Log source deletion events are tracked in Panther Audit Logs through different action names depending on how the deletion was performed. Here's how to find these events:

Audit Event Types for Log Source Deletions

Searching for Deletion Events

You can find these events using either the Search interface or Data Explorer:

Using Search

You can use either of these search operators:

  • is: DELETE_LOG_SOURCE

  • has substring: DELETE_LOG_SOURCE

Using Data Explorer

Run this query in Data Explorer to find deletion events:

SELECT *
FROM panther_logs.public.panther_audit
WHERE actionName LIKE '%DELETE_LOG_SOURCE%' 
ORDER by p_event_time DESC
LIMIT 1000

Note: Make sure that "Enable Panther Audit Logs" is turned ON in your Panther Console for these events to be recorded. You can verify this setting in your system configuration.
