Monitoring the tenant

While the tenant Overview page in the Tenant Management Console gives you a view of the tenant as a whole, the tenant log lets you monitor tenant and namespace activity on a more detailed level. The log records tenant and namespace events such as:

Tenant Management Console logins

Namespace creations

Tenant and namespace configuration changes

Creations, modifications, and deletions of retention classes

Privileged delete operations

Warnings about used storage approaching the hard quota

Each recorded entry about an event is called a message. The tenant log contains all the messages written to it since the tenant was created.

The Tenant Management Console provides several views of the log, as outlined in the table below.
