About Logs Parent topic

Logs are time-sequential records of IM Security events. These events refer to actions initiated by either a user or the IM Security server. IM Security allows you to query unformatted logs or display them through reports.
Logs are stored in the IM Security database. To avoid information loss, carefully review logs before deleting.
