Viewing Tasks and Events
You can view system tasks and events and organization tasks and events to monitor and audit Cloud Directory
activities.
Cloud Director tasks represent 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 represent one-time occurrences that typically indicate an important part of an operation
or a significant state change for a Cloud Director object. For example, Cloud Director logs an event when a
user initiates the creation an organization vDC and another event when the process completes. Cloud Director
also logs an event every time a user logs in and notes whether the attempt was successful or not.
View Ongoing and Completed System Tasks
View the system log to monitor system-level tasks that are in progress, to find and troubleshoot failed tasks,
and to view tasks by owner.
To view information about organization-level tasks, see “View Ongoing and Completed Organization Tasks,”
on page 92.
The log can also include debug information, depending on your Cloud Director settings. See “General System
Settings,” on page 83.
