    • Request Time: filters the search by when a request was made. You can define the time range of the search by setting the start and end date and time in UTC format. The maximum period of time you can search for is 30 days.
    • General filters:
      • Namespace: limits the search to a specific namespace. If left blank, the logs returned by your search will come from every namespace you have access to.
      • Category: limits the search to a specific category. To use this filter, type the name of the desired category into the box that appears. The option of the Category filter will be available when there is at least one log tracked. The category names must be entered as follows:
        • Action name: limits the search to a specific action name. To use this filter, you must select the category first and the action name will show option accordingly.
        • Object Type: limits the search to a specific object type. To use this filter, you must select the category first and the object type will show option accordingly.
        • Object Identifier: filters the search by unique identifier of the resource affected by the event captured in this log activity. To use this filter, you must select the category first and type the Object ID.

        • All: filters the list to show logs performed by users and application.
