View the Command History
The command-history trace feature captures all commands entered by all users of the system with a time stamp and writes
these messages to a dedicated trace log buffer.
The system generates a trace message for each executed command. No password information is saved to the file.
To view the command-history trace, use the show command-history command.
Example of the show command-history Command
Example 1: Default configuration service timestamps log datetime or service timestamps log datetime
