Activity feed + What's new
Every state change in the org: filterable by time window, type, or scope.
Last updated May 27, 2026
What it is
Two related views that surface “what happened recently”:
- Activity feed: the audit trail, reverse-chronological. Every privileged action (target add, target delete, AI run start, agent revoke, plan change) with actor + timestamp + scope.
- What’s new, the surface-change feed: new hosts appearing, services flipping live ↔ gone, new findings, new KEV listings on existing services. Filterable by time window (24 h, 7 d, 30 d).
What it produces
- Per row: timestamp, event type, actor (user or system), affected scope, jump-to-detail link
- Time-windowed roll-ups: “127 new services discovered in the last 24 h, 4 critical findings, 1 KEV”
- Per-target activity sub-feed: open any target, see only events scoped to it
What to use it for
- Standup: “what changed since yesterday?” Exact answer in 5 s
- Incident response: “when did this service first appear?”
- Compliance evidence: “show me every privileged action in Q3”
Why it matters
The activity feed is the security version of git log, the
single most-loadbearing investigative tool you have. “What’s new”
in particular is what turns Umbra from a one-time scanner into a
monitoring product.
Why it’s valuable
- Two feeds, two purposes. Audit log for who-did-what; what’s- new for what-changed. Don’t confuse them.
- Token-filterable. Same SmartSearch grammar:
actor:alice,type:service_appeared,type:agent.proxy_http.create, etc. - Per-target scope. Each target has its own activity tab so you don’t have to filter the global feed.
How to use it
- Activity in the left nav → global audit log.
- What’s new in the top bar → surface-change feed.
- Open any target’s detail page → Activity tab → that target’s events only.
