how-to · history Open this in the console

Show when someone opened a machine.

Audit. All kinds is the default, and it leaves scanner noise out. Console · machine opened is written when someone opens a machine.

The menu reloads the list. Set it back to all kinds (no probes) to see the leaving line again. A sign-in is a platform record, so it is not in this company list.
01

Open Audit after a visit

Open Accounts server, then leave it. The kind menu says all kinds (no probes). Two lines are from that visit: machine_opened (opened · overview) and machine_closed (viewed, with how long). The menu calls those kinds console · machine opened and console · machine closed. Changing the menu does not remove them from the record.

Keep openings

Set the kind menu to console · machine opened. The list reloads. Leaving the machine drops out. The opening stays: alex@example.com, Accounts server, opened · overview. Set the menu back to all kinds (no probes) and the leaving line returns. Rejections & probes is the scanner noise, kept out of this list on purpose.
