System Audit Field Considerations

There may be circumstances where the record in question has been modified after the unexpected change occurred. For this situation, it is recommended to set up a test record and use the strategies above to determine the process or user making the record change as it is happening. This may be the only way to get accurate 'LastModified' data.

Gleaning additional details from LastModified fields

Check for Data Loads, API, or other integrations using the 'LastModifiedBy' user record:

Unable to Identify Source of Change

If the behavior is still occurring, and specific field values are changing unexpectedly, an Admin can setup and configure Field History Tracking or Feed Tracking to identify who and when the unexpected field changes are being made.

Details Indicate the Record was Manually Updated

Details Indicate Record Update via API or Integration

If unknown API login attempts are present, it may helpful to use the login's source IP to perform a 'WhoIs' lookup via the 'Whois-RWS' on the American Registry of Internet Numbers Site search feature. This will typically provide organization details for the reported owner of the IP address from which the unknown login is occurring.
