Events

What are events?

Events are actions, changes, or occurrences within your systems that are logged, tracked, or used for reporting and alerting. Event logs record the following information:

• Accept and Reject status
• The user’s pbrun environment when an attempt is made to run pbrun
• Keystroke action events
• Task status (if the task finished successfully or unsuccessfully)

How are they useful to my organization?

Events help you to understand system activity, troubleshoot issues, and maintain security compliance.
