Viewing System Logs

The System Logs page displays all log messages received through CloudControl. Log messages classify and describe all administrative actions and events that have occurred in the virtual infrastructure. By default, CloudControl retains long messages for 180 days.

To view the system logs page, from the Home tab, select System > System Logs.

Log messages are displayed in a table with the following default columns: 

• Time
• Priority
• User
• Action
• Resource Name
• Policy Mode
• Status

You can sort each column in ascending or descending order, drag the columns to change the table order, or click the Columns button to choose which columns to display.

Note: The Time, Priority, User, Action, and Resource Name columns cannot be hidden.

You can also use the filter bar at the top to narrow down which system logs you want to see.
