Things you can do in the Event log module

An event log is a file that contains information about how Inspire is being used and how it's operating. If you have permission, you can access the event log to view events such as errors, warnings, and fatal events. Accessing this data can help you manage security, performance, and troubleshoot issues.

  • The Event log module contains one tab called Event log.
  • You open it by going to the top menu and clicking the Event log icon.
  • The Event log module is listed after the Notifications module and before the Publishing module.

Permission requirements

  • By default, users who have the role of System Administrator or Application Administrator have access to the Event log menu.
  • You can grant permission to users who aren't admins so they can access the Event logs module. Follow the steps in Update module access permissions.

From the Event log tab you can complete the following tasks:

ReadOnly_RefreshRefresh the list of projects.

Save the list of all projects in the grid in a comma-separated value (CSV) file that is downloaded to your computer.

search_buttonSearch for an event using a date, number, word, or phrase that appears in any column. You can also use filters to narrow your search results.
