Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that one of my resources (a Named Query) was deleted from my Ignition gateway. I’d like to find out who deleted it and when.

Is there a way to track deletions of resources like Named Queries, scripts, or other configurations in Ignition? Does Ignition log these actions somewhere, or is there a way to enable logging for such events?

This is especially important because our project is being handled by multiple team members, and I need a way to monitor changes and deletions. Any suggestions on how to track these actions effectively?

Thanks in advance for your help!

create an audit profile and enable it in the project.  
[Audit Log and Profiles | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/audit-log-and-profiles)

Ignition v8.3 will be more git friendlier too (I think).
