Understanding the Configuration Log Page
Viewing the Configuration Log Page
The
Configuration Log
page
allows you to view
and search login and configuration activities
triggered via the VCS web interface. It shows
all web login attempts for administrators and
Findme users (both failed and successful), and
all changes to the VCS configuration made via
the web UI. The configuration log visible via the
web UI holds a maximum of 4 MB of data; once
this size is reached, the oldest entries will be
overwritten.
To view the
Configuration Log
page:
Status > Logs > Configuration Log

Search for
This field allows you to filter the configuration
log. Enter the text you wish to search for and
click

. Only those web-based events
that contain the text you entered will then be
shown.
Results
This section shows all the web-based events,
with the most recent being shown first.
Most events contain hyperlinks in one or more
of the fields (such fields will change color when
you hover over them). You can click on the
hyperlink to automatically filter the search so
that only those events that contain that same
text string are shown.
For example, clicking on the text that appears
after
Event=
will filter the list to show all
the events of that particular type. Likewise,
clicking on a particular
user
will show
just those events relating to that particular
administration account.
