About history settings

About history settings

The appliance enables you to configure (subscribe to) and view the history of changes to settings, assets, and objects.

•
Settings: Tracked items include general settings as well as settings for MIA devices, patch subscriptions, and user authentication, among others. See Managing settings history.
•
Assets: Tracked items include devices, cost centers, departments, licenses, locations, applications, vendors, and user-created Asset Types. See Managing asset history.
•
Objects: Tracked items include alerts, labels, patch schedules, Replication Shares, reports, scripts, and applications among others. See Managing object history.

This history includes the date the change was made, the user who was logged in when the change was made, and the nature of the change. This information can help in troubleshooting system management issues, and you can export this information in CSV (comma-separated value) or custom report format.

History lists are informational only. You cannot use history lists to revert to previous states or undo changes.
