Auditing System Events

Auditing system events enables Service Administrators to see general events that occurred in the system (such as migration tasks and user changes), including when the events occurred and the status of each event.

You can filter the event audit by event type, and you can download the results to an Excel file.

To view system events, click the Audit card on the home page, and then select System Events in the Audit Type panel. The events in the last seven days are displayed by default.
