Console User Activity is an audit log of the actions console users have taken in the application. Each entry records who did something, what they did, which resource was affected, when it happened, and the IP address it came from. Use it to review changes, confirm who made them, and investigate unexpected activity.
What this guide covers
Before you begin: Open the console and go to Admin › Console User Activity. The page opens to the most recent entries, with the newest at the top. You need administrator access to view the activity log.
The Console User Activity page, reached from the Admin menu in the top navigation.
Reviewing the activity log
The log is shown as a table, with the most recent activity first. Entries are paged; use the page numbers and the per-page selector on the right of the toolbar to move through the history, which can run to many pages.
Each row is a single recorded action, newest first.
Column | Description |
Date | When the action occurred. Select the column header to sort. |
Console User | The console user who performed the action. |
Action | What was done — for example create, update, delete, view or general.login. |
Resource | The item that was acted on, shown as key/value pairs (such as type, id and name). |
IP | The IP address the action came from. |

Filtering the log

Reading a log entry
Each row tells a complete story: the Console User performed the Action on the Resource at the Date shown, from the recorded IP. The Resource and Details columns expand on this with key/value pairs — for example the resource type and its name, or the related class identifier — so you can see exactly what was affected without leaving the list.
A single entry showing who acted, the action, the affected resource, the time and the source IP.
Exporting the log
Select Reports above the table to export the activity log for record-keeping or further review. Apply any filters first so the export contains only the entries you need.
