Overview

Activity Log shows a live timeline of every action taken across your Polystack Platform. Each entry tells you who did it, what they did, which resource was affected, and whether it succeeded — so you can audit activity, investigate changes, and spot problems at a glance.
Activity Log is available in the administrator view only, under Monitor Center → Activity Log. If the page shows an empty state asking you to enable Central Logging, ask your administrator to turn it on before you can use this feature.

​
Opening Activity Log

Switch to the admin view

Sign in to the Polystack Dashboard with an administrator account.

Open Monitor Center → Activity Log

From the left navigation, expand Monitor Center and click Activity Log.
The page loads with summary cards at the top, a filter bar below, and a live event table.

​
What You See at the Top

Four summary cards show a rolling count of events matching your current filters: The counts update live as new events arrive.

​
Filtering the Timeline

Use the filter bar to narrow the timeline down to the events you need. Filters stack, so you can combine them freely.
To find out who deleted a specific resource, set Action to delete and paste the resource ID into the Search URL / ID box.

​
Event Table

Each row in the table is one action. At a glance you can see:

​
Live Mode

A Live switch on the right side of the filter bar (paired with a spinning sync icon) controls auto-refresh. When it’s on, the timeline updates every few seconds and new rows briefly highlight green as they arrive. Turn it off when you want a stable snapshot, or use the refresh icon next to it for a one-off update.
Live updates pause automatically when you switch to a different browser tab or open the event details — so the page doesn’t waste bandwidth in the background.

​
Inspecting an Event

Click any row to open the Detail panel on the right. It shows the full context for that action:
  • Activity name, service, and action type
  • User and project (names, with UUIDs visible on hover)
  • Source IP the request came from — useful for security reviews
  • Exact timestamp and duration
  • The request URL that was called
  • A unique Request ID you can share with support
  • If the action failed, an Error Details section with the exact error message

​
Exporting Activity

The Export button on the filter bar opens a dropdown with four choices, so you can pick exactly what you need: Use CSV for spreadsheets and ticket attachments, JSON for pipelines and log tools.
Narrow the filters first — Service plus Action plus a tight Date Range usually gives you a small, readable export. “All filtered” caps at 10,000 rows, so unfiltered wide time ranges may be truncated.

​
Common Tasks

  1. Set Action to delete
  2. Paste the resource ID into Search URL / ID and press Enter
The matching row shows the user, project, and source IP behind the delete.
  1. Set Service to Identity

Open any row for the source IP and the exact error message.

  2. Turn on the Live toggle
New rows highlight green as they arrive. Click any row to pause updates and inspect it.
