# overlane audit verify

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Re-computes the chain over the whole log on the service and reports how many rows were checked, the head hash and, when the chain is broken, where. A team-wide agent token or a person who manages members can do this. To check an exported file offline, use `overlane enterprise audit verify`.

## Usage

```sh
overlane audit verify [--service URL] [--team TENANT_ID]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--service` | string | no |  | The service address (default: OVERLANE_SERVICE_URL, then the project's binding, then the hosted service) |
| `--team` | string | no |  | The team (tenant) to act on (default: the one your token belongs to) |

## Examples

```sh
overlane audit verify
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema audit verify`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tenantId": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "maxLength": 128,

      "description": "tenant identifier"
    },

}
```
