Logging configuration changes
Principle
By default, Centreon retains all user actions concerning changes to
configuration in a log. To access this data, go into the menu Administration > Logs.
The grey search bar can be used to filter the information presented via filters:
- Object used to filter on object name (host, service, contact, SNMP trap definition, group, etc.)
- User used to filter by change author
- Object Type used to filter by object type
Practice
E.g.: To see all the actions effective by the user: admin, enter “admin” in the User field and click on Search.

| Modification type | Contains the type of action effective. There are several types of action possible:
|
| Type | Indicates object type |
| Object | Indicates object name |
| Author | Indicates the user having effective this change |
By clicking on the name of an object, you can view the history of the changes effective on it.
