Events log

System log is an internal registry of users activities which influence system state (login information, administrative actions, etc.). Please refer to the Log messages section for a list of key log messages.

To display system log contents, select Settings > Events log.

Filtering logs by date and time

Logs can be filtered by date and time directly from the date bar located above the log list. Additionally, there is a set of commonly used date range filters, such as Today, Last 24 Hours, This Week, Last 1 Hour, Last 1 Year, etc., accessible through the calendar icon.
