24.3.1 About activities

An activity is a record of a user- or system-initiated action or task or an alert message to inform
you that an event occurred that requires your attention.

An alert message is an important troubleshooting tool. It indicates when an event occurred and
which resource reported it. An alert message provides details about the event and suggests a
solution.

If a user- or system-initiated action is complete, there is a record for it. If an action is not complete,
you can see which subtasks were completed or are still running and which subtasks are interrupted
or stopped.

The appliance interleaves tasks, alerts, and administrator's notes into a single view, which simplifies
the correlation of user activity with system health.

You can view all activities, filter the activities by several criteria to view only those you want to
see, or search for a specific activity.
