Search and filter the activity log

Your log can grow big. Use search and filters to find the events you need.

Search #

Type in the Search logs… box at the top of User Activity → Activity Logs. Pastmark searches the event message and the action.

If you type only a number, Pastmark also finds events with that event ID, object ID or user ID.

2. Choose one or more filters.
3. Click Apply Filters.
