The Action Log Viewer in OS Deployer enables administrators to audit every user activity within the Central Server environment. With role-based access in place, it becomes essential to monitor user operations for compliance, traceability, and troubleshooting. The Action Log Viewer captures every action performed by each user, including the exact time of execution.

Why Use Action Log Viewer?

  • Maintain accountability: Track who performed what action and when.
  • Improve security posture: Detect unauthorized or suspicious activities.
  • Simplify audits: Retrieve logs quickly during compliance or internal audits.
  • Diagnose issues: Understand configuration changes that may have impacted the environment.

Accessing the Action Log Viewer

  1. Log in to the OS Deployer console.
  2. Navigate to Admin > Audit > Action Log Viewer.

The viewer displays a chronological list of user actions across the application.

Filtering Logs

You can customize the log view based on:

  • Date Range — Select a specific period to focus on recent or historical events.
  • Modules — Filter logs by feature/module. Use the All option to view all modules.
  • Users — Select specific users from the dropdown or choose All to include everyone.

Configuring Log Retention

Logs are retained for a configurable number of days (maximum: 750 days). To set this up:

  1. Go to Admin > Audit > Action Log Viewer.
  2. Click Edit Action Log Settings.
  3. Define the desired retention period.

Host Name Collection (On-Premises Only)

For deeper traceability, the Action Log Viewer can also collect the host name of the device used to access the OS Deployer console.

To enable host name collection:

  1. Navigate to Admin > Audit > Action Log Viewer.
  2. Click Edit Action Log Settings.
  3. Enable the Collect Host Name toggle.
Note
In some network environments, due to security constraints, the host name may not be retrievable. In such cases, the IP address is recorded instead.
