Activity

The Activity section displays a recent activity report for Auditing. HPE VM Essentials defines an activity as any major action performed on an instance or server, such as, but not limited to adding a server, deleting a server, provisioning an instance, deleting an instance, creating a backup, etc… This view can be searched and filtered by type, user, and date range.

Activity

There are four types of activities that are displayed in the Activity Reports:

  • Backup

  • Provisioning

  • Alert

To View a Recent Activity report:

  1. Select the Operations link in the navigation bar.

  2. Select Activity in the sub navigation bar.

Recent activity is displayed in order from recent to oldest. This view can be searched and filtered by type, user, and date range.

Review

To review the item that generated the activity, click the name of the activity and it will go to a new page and display that item. The list of activity can be filtered by type, user or date range.

Note

Deleted activities are displayed as an alert and do not contain a link to the event item. If the activity is not a deletion event we provide a link on the activity name to go to the item the activity occurred on. Delete activity alerts are shown for Instances, servers, Clouds, and Groups.

History

The HISTORY section shows process history from Instance processes. This is an aggregate view of the History tab contained in each Instance detail page.

Processes can be expanded to view all process steps and process history detail including output and errors.

Access to HISTORY is given by the Operations:Activity Role permission.

The Logs displayed in Administration - Health - Morpheus Logs are from /var/log/morpheus/morpheus-ui/current. These logs show all ui activity and are useful for troubleshooting and auditing.

Note

Stack traces in Administration - Health - Morpheus Logs are filtered for HPE VM Essentials services. Complete stack traces can be found in /var/log/morpheus/morpheus-ui/current.
