The activity log is a running timeline of what’s happened on your account — resources created and removed, and other actions — each marked as successful or failed, so you can confirm changes and spot anything unexpected.
Where to find it
Account → History → Activity. The breadcrumb at the top reads Account, History, Activity. History also holds a Messages tab alongside Activity.
What you see
Three summary tiles sit at the top:
- Total Events — how many events are on the current page.
- Successful — completed actions.
- Failed — actions that didn’t complete.
Below them, the Activity Log lists individual events grouped by day (Today, Yesterday, and so on). Each row shows:
- A short description of the action, such as “Cloud Server destroyed” or “Cloud Server removed”, often with the resource’s short name in parentheses.
- A Success (or failed) status pill.
- How long ago it happened, for example “17 minutes ago”.
- A category tag — Infrastructure for server and resource actions.
Filter the log
Use the tabs on the Activity Log header to narrow what’s shown:
- All — every event.
- Success — only completed actions.
- Failed — only actions that didn’t complete. Start here when you’re troubleshooting.
When to use it
- After a change window — confirm the resources you expected to be created or removed actually completed.
- When troubleshooting — switch to the Failed filter to isolate actions that didn’t go through.
- During a security check — scan for any action you don’t recognize.
Good to know
- The log is a read-only record — it reports what happened; you can’t edit or remove entries.
- The Total Events tile counts what’s on the current page, so the number reflects the page you’re viewing rather than your account’s entire history.
- Alongside Activity, the Messages tab under History keeps account messages in one place.
- Pair the log with a security review: an unexpected action, or a sign-in you don’t recognize, is worth following up on right away.
If something in the log looks unfamiliar, tighten your sign-in with two-factor authentication.
