The replication feature, or offsite archiving, enables you to forward the events to an external logging provider.
Doing that ensures you have a full copy of the event log outside of the WordPress installation.
This is not only a great way to back up the event data, but it also adds a security layer against malicious actors that alter the WP Admin Audit data (directly in the database) after the events are recorded.
WP Admin Audit will, as soon as a new event is recorded, mirror the event to the active external logging services.
Not available in all production editions
The replication features are only part of selected paid WP Admin Audit editions.
Replication Targets / Supported services
Currently, the following logging third-party providers are supported as external databases:
- Loggly
- BetterStack (formerly known as Logtail)
You have the option to use one or multiple of the services for your external event log mirror database.
