The Event Log logs document vault events, such as new object creations and user logins.

Event logging must be enabled to send notifications. For more information about notifications, refer to Notification Settings (M-Files Admin).

The "Event Details" window.
Number of events, and event types
If the eSigning and Compliance module is in use, the event log records all events, without any restrictions (when the server mode so allows). Otherwise, the M-Files server removes the oldest events automatically if the number of events exceeds 10,000. The maximum number of events can be changed via a registry setting (for more information, contact M-Files customer support).
While M-Files offers a versatile event log, several additional event types that can be covered by logging are enabled with the eSigning and Compliance module. For the list of additional event types offered with the eSigning and Compliance module, please contact the M-Files customer support staff at [email protected].
