Monitoring Nautobot Instances

You can monitor the performance and usage of your Nautobot Instances through the Event History and Trends tabs located under the Data Insights heading in the left-hand navigation pane.

Event History

The Event History tab provides a log of events and actions related to all your Nautobot Instances. This includes instance creation, updates, restarts, and other significant actions. This log shows you when each event occurred, the type of event, and which instance it pertains to, the initiator, the interface used (e.g. API, Web UI), and the status of the event (Started, Completed, or Failed).

Filters (top right) can be applied to narrow down the events shown based on criteria such as event type, instance name, initiator, and date range.
