Audit Log Feature - Implementation Complete ✅

What Was Fixed

The Security Dashboard now displays real audit log data instead of the placeholder "coming soon" message.

Changes Made

File Updated

• ✅ /frontend/src/pages/SecurityDashboard.jsx - Integrated audit log API

New Features in Audit Log Tab

1. Real-Time Data Fetching

   • Fetches data from /api/security-monitor/audit-log
   • Automatically loads when clicking the "Audit Log" tab
   • Shows last 50 security events

2. Comprehensive Event Display

   Column	Description
   Timestamp	Event date and time (MMM dd, HH:mm:ss)
   Event Type	Action performed (login, logout, password_change, etc.)
   Status	Color-coded chip (Success: green, Failed: red, Blocked: orange)
   IP Address	Source IP address (monospace font)
   Details	Extracted username or reason from event details

3. Status Indicators

   • ✅ Success (Green chip) - Action completed successfully
   • ❌ Failed (Red chip) - Action failed (wrong password, etc.)
   • ⚠️ Blocked (Orange chip) - Action blocked by security policy

4. User Experience

   • Shows loading spinner while fetching data
   • Empty state with refresh button if no events
   • Displays event count in header
   • Link to full Security Monitor for detailed analysis
   • Shows top 20 events with "View Details" button for more

5. Error Handling

   • Gracefully handles API errors
   • Falls back to empty state
   • Provides refresh option

How It Works

Data Flow

SecurityDashboard (Tab Click)
    ↓
fetchAuditLog()
    ↓
GET /api/security-monitor/audit-log?limit=50
    ↓
Display in table format

API Integration

// Fetches when Audit Log tab is clicked
useEffect(() => {
  if (tabValue === 2) {
    fetchAuditLog();
  }
}, [tabValue]);

// API call
const fetchAuditLog = async () => {
  const response = await axios.get(
    '/api/security-monitor/audit-log?limit=50',
    { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }
  );
  setAuditLog(response.data.logs || []);
};
