VM Activities View

The Activities view displays information about the most recent (up to 1000) file activities performed on the VM. This view provides a filter, enabling you to display a subset of the activities, as well as an Export drop-down menu that you can use to export the activity output to either comma-separated value (csv) or tab-separated value (tsv) formats. The view output displays information about the file activities on the VM, including the date and time of the file activity, the user who performed the activity, the activity type, and the file the activity was performed against.

To view this tab, select Views > Activities from the VM Details Tab.
