The AuditService acts as a "gateway" to Umbraco data for operations which are related to the audit trail.

Getting the service

Services property

If you wish to use the audit service in a class that inherits from one of the Umbraco base classes (eg. SurfaceController, UmbracoApiController or UmbracoAuthorizedApiController), you can access the audit service through a local Services property:

IAuditService auditService = Services.AuditService;

Dependency Injection

In other cases, you may be able to use Dependency Injection. For instance if you have registered your own class in Umbraco's dependency injection, you can specify the IAuditService interface in your constructor:

public class MyClass
{

    private IAuditService _auditService;
    
    public MyClass(IAuditService auditService)
    {
        _auditService = auditService;
    }

}

Static accessor

If neither a Services property or Dependency Injection is available, you can also reference the static Current class directly:

IAuditService auditService = Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Services.AuditService;
