<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: Logs

Logs show all past activities and events of your PRTG monitoring setup. This is useful for researching past user activities, system events, and, for example, to check whether messages were sent. In a typical setup, a huge amount of log data is produced. Because the activity of every single object is recorded, you can use this information to check if your setup works exactly as desired.

There are several filters available to make navigating the log entries easier. See the Working with Table Lists section for more information.

List with Log Entries

There are two options to open the logs list: Either you click the Log tab on the detail page of a probe, group, device, or sensor, or you choose the Logs item in the main menu.

Probe, group, device, and sensor pages have tabs that you can use to navigate between the different options. For example, you can view your network's status, view monitoring results, or change settings.

Tabs Bar on Group and Probe Level

Click the Log tab to show a table list with all log information on this object. This is a more detailed log than the system log available via the Logs | All option in main menu.

Logs (Main Menu)

Click Logs in the main menu bar to show a table list of all system log entries in your configuration. Hover over Logs and select another option to narrow down your log search. Choose between:

Logs
All	Open a table list with log information for all objects in your configuration, newest first.
By Group ›	Open a list with log information for objects in a certain group only, newest first. Hover over By Group to show other menu items. Select All, or follow the menu path (it is specific to your setup) to select a group you would like to show log information for.
Status Changes ›	Open a list with log information for certain status changes only. Hover over Status Changes to show other menu items. Follow the menu path to view log entries with a special value in the Status field only. Select between Up & Down (shows entries with either Up or Down in the Status field), Down, Warning, Unusual, Up, Paused/Resumed (shows entries with either Paused or Resumed in the Status field), or Acknowledged Alarms.
System Events ›	Open a list with log information regarding certain system event types only. Hover over System Events to show other menu items. Select between the following event types: Probe Related, Cluster Related, Auto-Discovery, Notifications, or Status Messages.
Object History	Open a list with log information about changes to the PRTG setup and deletions of subordinate system objects. The object history page has a tab-like interface. Using the tabs you can navigate through various sub-pages in order to view the changes to all related settings and deletions of objects. Select between the following tabs: My Account, System Setup, Notifications, Schedules, User Accounts, User Groups, Reports, Libraries, or Maps. You can open a specific tab directly with the context-button History in the page header bar on the corresponding pages.
