How to Download an Audit Log of Altera Jobs

Download a CSV listing every Altera import and export job on your store, useful for compliance reviews and internal handoffs.

Goal: Download a single CSV that lists every import and export job on your store - including who ran each one - so you can review activity in a spreadsheet, share it with a teammate, or keep a record for compliance.

Prerequisites:

  • You have Altera installed on your Shopify store

  • At least one job has been created or run

Step 1 - Open the Jobs page

In your Shopify admin, open Altera and click Jobs in the side navigation. This is the page that lists all of your recent import and export jobs.

Step 2 - Apply any filters you want included

The audit log respects whatever filters are active on the page, so narrow the list first if you only want a slice of activity. You can filter by job type (import or export), execution type (one-off or scheduled), status, source (App, API key, or CLI), search by name, and toggle archived jobs in or out.

If you want every job on the store, leave the filters empty.

Step 3 - Click Download audit log

In the top right of the Jobs page, click Download audit log. A banner appears once the file is ready and your browser starts the download automatically. If it doesn't, click the download it here link in the banner.

Outcome

You receive a CSV named altera-audit-YYYYMMDD.csv containing one row per job. Columns include:

  • Job ID and Job URL - direct link back to the job in Altera

  • Name, Type, Object types - what the job is and what data it touches

  • Execution type and Schedule interval - one-off vs. scheduled, plus how often a scheduled job repeats

  • Source - App, API key, or CLI

  • Created by - who ran the job. For jobs created in the app this is the user's full name; jobs run via API show "API key #N" and CLI jobs are labeled accordingly. This makes it easy to see who's behind each import or export.

  • Created at, Last run at, Last run finished at - timestamps in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ±ZZZZ format

  • Last run status and Last run duration (s)

  • Total run count - how many times the job has run
