User Activity Log
The User Activity Log tracks user actions that may impact the operation of the oVTCS system, including GUI Login/Logout activity and Configuration/Policy file management activity. This is beneficial for administrators trying to track user activity from a single location.
Select Administration and User Activity Logs on the navigation tree.
Click the arrows in any column header to sort the data table by that column in ascending or descending order.
You can also filter data for individual data columns to further isolate specific information. See Using Filters for details.
