Event Logs

Summary

Event Logs capture informational, warning, and error messages generated across zMAN components, providing a timeline of system and user actions for audit and troubleshooting purposes :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

Accessing Event Logs

1. Navigate to **Event Logs** in the zMAN UI.
2. Use filters to narrow by:
   • Service (e.g., zDM, zID, MinIO, API)
   • Level (Info, Warning, Error)
   • Date/time range
3. Click a log entry to view full details, including stack traces or payloads when available.

Key Log Sources

• zMAN UI/API: user actions, authentication events, API calls
• zDM: device check-ins, command dispatch, telemetry errors
• MinIO: file uploads/downloads, access key usage, policy errors
• Database: connectivity and query execution errors

Analyzing Events

• Correlate Task failures with zDM or Device error logs by matching timestamps.
• Export log entries to CSV for offline analysis or compliance retention.
• Use the **Search** bar to find entries by keywords, device ID, or error code.

Retention & Archiving

• By default, logs are retained for 30 days; adjust retention policy in zMAN’s configuration files for longer or shorter periods.
• Archive older logs by exporting them via the UI or downloading directly from the PostgreSQL backend.
