Activity log

See who did what in your panel, and when.

License required

The activity log needs the Audit Logs license feature. Without it the page is not in the menu.

Use the Activity Log to see each change, the person who made it, and the time. Navigate to Admin > Overview > Activity Log.

You also need the View Audit Logs permission.

The table

ColumnDescription
ActionThe action, with a coloured icon. Green marks a creation, blue an update, red a deletion, indigo a login, and grey a logout.
UserThe username and the email address of the person. A panel-generated event shows System.
ResourceThe affected resource, for example a server, a user, or a node.
IP AddressThe address that the request came from.
DateThe date and time of the action.

The table shows 50 rows per page. The footer shows the range, the total, and the page number, with arrows to move between pages.

When nothing matches, the page shows "No activity found."

Filtering

Click Filters to open the filter panel. It holds four controls:

FilterDescription
ActionLimits the list to one action.
Resource TypeLimits the list to one resource type.
From DateThe earliest date to include.
To DateThe latest date to include.

The search box above the filters narrows the list by free text. It matches the actor, the resource, and the description of the entry. Use it with the filters to find one entry quickly.

Export

Two buttons at the top right export the log:

  • Export CSV - for a spreadsheet.
  • Export JSON - for a script.

An export uses the filters that you applied. The file name holds the date, for example audit-logs-2026-08-02.csv.

Retention

The Activity Log page has no retention control. Set the retention at Admin > Settings > Advanced:

  • Audit Log Retention (days) controls this page. The default is 90 days. The range is 7 to 365.
  • Activity Log Retention (days) controls the per-server activity feed. The default is 90 days. The range is 7 to 365.

Per-Server activity

Each server has its own activity feed. A server owner or a subuser opens it from the Activity tab of the server.

The feed shows each action with an icon, a description, the username, the time, the IP address, and a category. A dropdown filters the feed. The options are All Actions, Power Actions, File Operations, Database, Schedules, Backups, Subusers, Startup, and Console. The feed shows 25 entries per page.

Recorded server actions include:

CategoryActions
PowerServer Started, Server Stopped, Server Restarted, Server Killed, Server Reinstalled.
FilesFile Uploaded, File Downloaded, File Deleted, File Modified, File Created, Directory Created, File Renamed.

Personal history

The panel has no per-user activity page. A user can download a personal history from Account > Privacy & Data > Export My Data. That file holds 90 days of audit records and the login history.
