  "content": "Management actions performed with Redis Enterprise are logged to make sure system management tasks are appropriately performed or monitored by administrators and for compliance with regulatory standards.\n\nLog entries contain the\nfollowing information:\n\n1. Who performed the action?\n1. What exactly was the performed action?\n1. When was the action performed?\n1. Did the action succeed or not?\n\nTo get the list of logged events, you can use the REST API or\nthe **Logs** screen in the UI. The **Logs** screen displays the system and user\nevents regarding alerts, notifications, and configuration.\n\n\n\nYou can use the **Logs** screen to review what actions a user has performed, such as editing a database's configuration.\n\n- [Redis slow\n    log]()\n- [rsyslog logging]()\n\n## View logs in the UI\n\nRedis Enterprise provides log files for auditing cluster management actions and troubleshooting. You can view these logs in the UI and on the host operating system.\n\nTo view event logs in the new Cluster Manager UI, go to **Cluster \u003e Logs**.\n\n## View logs on the server\n\nServer logs can be found by default in the directory `/var/opt/redislabs/log/`.\n\nThese log files are used by the Redis support team to troubleshoot issues. The logs you will most frequently interact with is 'event_log.log'. This log file is where logs of configuration actions within Redis are stored and is useful to determine events that occur within Redis Enterprise.\n\n## Configure log timestamps\n\nRedis Enterprise allows you to configure log timestamps. To configure log timestamps in the new Cluster Manager UI:\n\n1. Go to **Cluster \u003e Configuration \u003e General**.\n\n1. Change the **Time zone** for the logs based on your location.\n",
