Monitoring the event log

Monitor event logs for suspicious activity and to help identify the cause of cybersecurity breaches that could lead to a cybersecurity incident.

NOTE: The default event log limit is 5,000 records. When the limit is reached, new log entries overwrite older ones. To be notified when the Event Log record limit is approaching, see Assigning a designated reader for event log notification. To extend log record retention, offload information to syslog or a protected storage or retention location, see Configuring Syslog network settings using ION Setup.

For more information on meter access logging events, see Editing meter access event logging.
