Setup Audit Trail Monitors

Overview

Salesforce's Setup Audit Trail generates a large volume of data — making it difficult to catch the changes that actually matter. Arovy's Setup Audit Trail monitors let you cut through the noise by creating targeted alerts for specific events, severity levels, and activity classifications, so your team is notified only when something significant happens.

Applies to: Arovy Monitors & Logs | Feature: Setup Audit Trail Monitors

Prerequisites

• Arovy account with access to Monitors & Logs
• At least one Arovy user to assign as a notification recipient
• Familiarity with the types of Salesforce changes you want to track (e.g., admin additions, profile updates)

Estimated Time

~3 minutes per monitor

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Navigate to Setup Audit Trail

1. In the left navigation bar, go to Monitors & Logs and select Setup Audit Trail.

Step 2: Open the Monitor Wizard

1. Click Create Monitor in the top-right corner.

   The monitor wizard opens with a set of pre-built templates to help you get started quickly.

   

2. Review the available templates. Examples include:
   • New System Admin Added — alerts when a user is granted system administrator privileges
   • Critical Arovy Alerts — alerts when Arovy flags a critical event in Setup Audit Trail

Step 3: Select a Template and Configure Conditions

1. Select the template that best matches what you want to monitor. This example starts with Critical Alerts.

2. To make the monitor more specific, add additional conditions using the condition builder:

   • Classification — expand coverage by adding severity levels, such as both Critical and High
   • User — narrow the monitor to a specific person

   Stack conditions to build a focused, high-signal alert that fits your governance needs.

   

Step 4: Set Notification Recipients and Save

1. In the Notify field, select the Arovy user(s) who should receive email alerts when this monitor triggers.

2. Click Save.

   The monitor is now active and will send email alerts whenever the specified conditions are met in your Setup Audit Trail.

Expected Results

After saving a monitor:

• Arovy watches your Setup Audit Trail continuously for activity matching your defined conditions
• Email alerts are sent to specified recipients when a match is detected
• The monitor filters out unrelated audit trail noise, surfacing only the events you've defined as important
