Service Management › View the Service Log

View the Service Log

CA Configuration Automation maintains a service log that documents each service-based transaction. It can be accessed using the UI for each service being managed by CA Configuration Automation.

To view a service's activity log

1. Click the Management link, the Services tab, and then the Log tab.

   The Log table appears and displays all activity for each service. The default view is to show the most recent service activity in the first row, and the oldest activity in the last row. You can click the sort icons at the top of sortable columns to present the table data differently.

2. (Optional) Create a filter to view specific service events captured in the log as described in Filter Table Views.

   Note: The Filter functionality on this page contains the following additional fields only found on Log pages:

   Start Date/Time

   Specifies the time to begin searching for service activity. For example, if you want to see all service activity during the week you were away on vacation, you would specify the day you left as the start time by clicking the the Start Date/Time check box, clicking the calendar icon, and selecting the day and time you left.

   End Date/Time

   Specifies the time to end searching for service activity. Continuing the previous example, if you want to see all service activity during the week you were away on vacation, you would specify the day you returned as the end time by clicking the the End Date/Time check box, clicking the calendar icon, and selecting day and time you returned.
