# Logs

#### Logs in **Xopero ONE Management Service** provide detailed records of backup activities, system operations, and events.

***

## General information

The **Logs** tab in **Xopero ONE Management Service** provides information about every event occurring in **Xopero ONE** backup system (i.e., logging in to [**XMS**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1], backup task status, etc.).

The system relies on lightweight, high-performance databases to efficiently handle and store data. From the moment the service is activated, every log entry is recorded and preserved, ensuring a complete and continuous history of system activity.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Please note that excessive generation of log entries may affect the performance and stability of the log database.
{% endhint %}

Archiving older logs helps maintain system efficiency. **Xopero ONE** includes a log archiving feature that keeps archived logs fully accessible and searchable.

***

## Logs archiving

To configure log archiving, click the ⚙️ **Settings** icon at the bottom of the left-hand menu, then select **Advanced** > **Logs archiving** to expand the options:

1. **Archive logs every** – specify the number of months after which the system should archive older log entries. By default, the system archives logs **every 3 months** and retains logs for the entire current month.

## Logs tab

In **Logs** tab you can view all log entries — you can filter them by date, event subject, trigger, or subject name. The top bar displays the date from which logs are available (**Date from**).

To view logs from a different time period, click the **magnifying glass 🔍** icon on the right. In the [advanced search window](#advanced-search-engine), use the **DATE FROM** and **DATE TO** filters to display logs from a specific time period.

{% hint style="info" %}
To view all logs, click the <kbd>**X**</kbd> button next to **Reset All** or **Date from**—the system will then load all available logs.
{% endhint %}

## Logs table

#### The logs table contains the following entries:

1. **LEVEL** — indicates the status of an event. **Xopero ONE** defines four types of event status:
   1. <mark style="color:green;">**Success**</mark> — confirms the successful completion of a task.
   2. <mark style="color:blue;">**Info**</mark>**&#x20;—** provides informational messages, such as changes in backup plans.
   3. <mark style="color:orange;">**Warning**</mark> — indicates conditions that may conflict with intended actions or partial errors that could result in data loss within backup plans.
   4. <mark style="color:red;">**Error**</mark> — reports critical errors.
2. **LOG** — name of the event.
3. **DATE** — timestamp of when the event occurred.
4. **SUBJECT OF EVENT** — target of the action or operation.
5. **NAME OF SUBJECT** — name of the target.
6. **TRIGGER** — element responsible for initiating an operation by sending the request. For example, if a backup plan is started manually by the administrator, the trigger is the administrator account. If the backup plan starts automatically based on the defined schedule, the trigger is the schedule.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can also manage the displayed columns — click the **gear** ⚙️ icon to open a list of elements that can be shown in the log entries table.
