Vault Event Log

The vault event log records vault events. For example, object creations and user logins. When the event log is enabled, you can monitor the vault events and use filter criteria or sort order to show only events that you are interested in. For more information, see Configuring the Vault Event Log and Using the Vault Event Log.

Note: The event log must be enabled for notifications to be sent. For information about notifications, see Editing Notification Settings in M-Files Admin.

Event logging and virus scanning exclusions

The event log can sometimes show an unexpectedly large number of file downloads during a short time period. If this occurs, it can be useful to make sure that the necessary virus scanning exclusions are in place. See M-Files and Virus Scanning for instructions.
