### Using the Action Log

To view the Parallels Business Automation - Standard system logs:

1. Click Action Log or follow the Configuration Director - Logging and Errors - Action Log path on the left menu. The list of all actions performed in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard system appears on the screen.

   Note: The stored-logs time frame, i.e., the data retention cycle can be set in Configuration Director - Miscellaneous Settings - Data Retention.

The Action Log screen is rather informative and easy-to-surf. The list of actions displays the following:

- Action ID. The numerical identifier assigned automatically to an action within the Parallels Business Automation - Standard.
- Result. The Action status: In Progress, Success, or Failed.
- Object Name. The name of an action object (Hardware Node, Container, template, etc.).
- Action. The action performed;
- Initiator. Initiator of action (User name and e-mail address);
- Initiator's IP address;
- The date and time an action was started.

To view the detailed information about every object involved in particular action, click on its name.

To see the total number of actions performed click on the Summary tab.

Click on appropriate link to view the list of actions of particular type. If no actions of certain type were performed, then the corresponding link is disabled.

Thus, you can view the reports about all the actions performed using links on the Summary screen or different Filter settings at the common list. You can start from any of the links on the Action Log Summary screen and proceed with any kind of actions without rolling back to Summary.
