The Activities dashboard

The Activities dashboard provides an overview of the current and past activities. By default, the retention period is 90 days.

To customize the view of the Activities dashboard, click the gear icon, and then select the columns that you want to see.

To see the activity progress in real time, select the Refresh automatically check box. However, frequent updating of multiple activities degrades the performance of the management server.

You can search the listed activities by the following criteria:

• Device name

  This is the machine on which the activity is carried out.
  

• Started by

  This is the account who started the activity.

You can also filter the activities by the following properties:

• Status

  For example, succeeded, failed, in progress, canceled.

• Type

  For example, applying plan, deleting backups, installing software updates.

• Time

  For example, the most recent activities, the activities from the past 24 hours, or the activities during a specific period within the default retention period.

To see more details about an activity, select this activity from the list, and then, in the Activity details panel, click All properties. For more information about the available properties, refer to the Activity and Task API references in the Developer Network Portal.
