Activity Center
The Activity Center is the place to go to view the details of specific events or user activity. The appliance records all activities performed within One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

Applying search criteria
Use the query builder in the Activity Center to add and remove data from your activity audit log report to get the information you need.
By default, an activity audit log report includes all activity occurring within the last 24 hours. However, using the query tiles provided you can specify search criteria to retrieve specific information from the activity audit log. The search criteria available includes:
- Activity category (to narrow parameters and event details)
- Time frame
- User
- Asset
- Account
- Search keyword or value: For sessions, you can search by keyword or value.
