​
Overview

Titled Activity Log — “Complete audit trail of all operations, changes, and events for this virtual machine”. Scoped to this machine only, which makes it far easier to read than the account-wide screen.
Navigation: Compute → Virtual Machines → click a machine → Events.

​
Columns

Sorted newest first by default.

​
Levels

Filter by All Levels, Info, Warning, Error.

​
Month grouping

Rows group into collapsible sections by month, each with a summary strip showing Total Events plus Info, Warning and Error counts — and a level block is omitted entirely when its count is zero.
The summary strip is the fastest way to find a bad month. Scan the headers for a non-zero Error count instead of reading rows.

​
Exporting

Export produces a CSV named for the machine and the date.
The CSV includes an Event ID column that the table doesn’t display. That identifier is what support will ask for about a specific event, so export rather than screenshot when raising a ticket.

​
This tab versus the account-wide screen

Start here when you know which machine is involved — it has no 500-record window to work around, and the month grouping does the triage for you. Go to the account-wide screen when you don’t yet know which resource is at fault.

​
Common task: find out why a machine restarted

1

Filter to Error, then Warning

A restart with no error before it was almost certainly deliberate. One following an error was not.
2

Read the User column

A username means a person or an automation did it. Empty usually means the platform did — a host failure or a migration.
3

Check for a schedule

If the timing looks regular, check Schedules — a recurring restart is easy to forget about.
4

Cross-check the operation in Jobs

If a user triggered it, Jobs shows the operation and whether it succeeded. Widen the job time window past its six-hour default to cover the same period.
5

Export before the retention window closes

Events are kept for 90 days, stated on the page. If this matters for an incident review, export now.

​
Empty and error states

Events

The account-wide trail, and its window.

Jobs

Whether the operation behind an event succeeded.

Monitoring tab

Charts, for incidents long enough to appear in them.
