# What Is an Audit Trail for GPU Usage?

An audit trail for GPU usage is a record of who ran what, where, and on whose approval.

## How it works

- Every action is logged.
- Each entry is tied to one identity.
- Entries are kept so that they can be reviewed later.

## How Vantage Compute relates

Vantage Compute logs every action and ties it to one identity, so you can show who ran what, where, and on whose approval.
