Overview

The Event Logs in zCompute record all changes to the system state. Each component may show their own Event Logs. End-users can see events from their own components, such as their VMs, VPCs, etc.

Cloud-wide Events can also be viewed by Cloud and MSP Admins, who will see an aggregate of all events across the entire cloud.

Events can also be queried via the Zadara Symp API: https://guides.zadarastorage.com/cs-compute-guide/latest/symp-ref-guide/event.html#event-count

Standard Retention

The cloud-wide Zadara Compute Event Log has limited retention of events.

Events are retained only until one of these limits is hit:

• 60 days

• 250,000 cloud-wide events

If there are fewer that 250,000 events, old events will be purged if they are older than 60 days. If 250,000 events are exceeded, the oldest events will be purged to remain under that limit.

Longer Retention

OPaaS customers who need longer retention can configure an Rsyslog External Endpoint to send all events to an external Rsyslog server where they can set any retention they desire.
