How to see what happened on your server

Actions on your server are recorded, and the record is on the Activity page. It is the first place to look when something changed and you do not know why.

Open the activity log

1. Open your server in the panel.
2. Click Activity in the left menu.

The page lists events with a short description of what happened, who did it, and how long ago. Actions taken by the system itself, such as an automatic backup finishing, are attributed to System.

Filter the list

Use the filters at the top to narrow it down.

• From and To limit the dates.
• What happened limits the list to one kind of event. It starts on All events.
• Who limits it to one person, which is handy when several people have access.

When it helps

• A setting changed. See who changed it and when.
• The server restarted. Check whether someone used the power controls, or a schedule did.
• Files went missing. See whether someone deleted or restored them.
• A backup did not run. Check for the event from your schedule.

You can also see a short list of the latest events on the Overview page. Click View all to open this page.
