Viewing Organization Log Tasks and Events

Cloud Director tasks are long-running operations and their status changes as the task progresses. For example,
a task's status generally starts as Running. When the task finishes, its status changes to Successful or Error.
Cloud Director events are one-time occurrence that indicate an important part of an operation or a significant
state change for a Cloud Director object. Cloud Director also logs an event every time a user logs in, and notes
whether the attempt was successful or not.
