Units history

The unit history log records events performed on units from the SA Library. These events are recorded in detail as actions performed on a certain date, by a certain user, on a certain unit. Events logged include name, description, platforms, location, install path, scripts, flags, all that a user can change on a unit.

In many troubleshooting tasks, this type of information is critical because some of these changes might be the root cause of problems. This log provides detailed information, such as the date the action occurred a description of the action and details of the action.
