Hi team,


I mistakenly enabled the Audit Trail, and it’s become a bit of a headache given that the implementation is still in progress.


It can't be disabled via settings because there are entries in the log.


Is there a way to disable it?


Thanks!

Did you manage to solve it in the end?
I have the same problem

Best Answer

To disable the Audit Trail in Odoo v18, follow these steps:

1. Check for Custom Modules

  • Go to Apps > Update Apps List (Enable Developer Mode first).
  • Search for keywords like:
    • audit
    • base.audit
    • log
  • If nothing appears, then no audit trail module is installed.

2. Investigate Logging Behavior

If you're seeing logging or activity tracking:

  • Go to Settings > Technical > Logging or System Logs
  • Some background logging may still happen depending on:
    • User activity logs
    • System log handlers (configured in the Odoo config file)

3. Disable System Logging (If Custom Logging Exists)

If a custom module is generating logs:

  • Check the addons folder for any module with “audit” in its name.
  • Temporarily comment out or remove it from the addons_path in the config file.

4. Look into Scheduled Actions or Webhooks

Sometimes logs or callbacks might come from:

  • Scheduled Actions or
  • Webhooks connected to external systems
    Disable them under:
    Settings > Technical > Scheduled Actions

This didn’t work for me. Neither Audit nor Audit Trail show up as installed modules in v18

Another terrible AI / LLM answer!!
