Monitoring System Audit Events

Prior to SMartServer 3.5, the alarms and events widget was called alarms.

With SmartServer 3.5 and higher, you can review system audit events, such as user login / logoff activity, from the SmartServer CMS Alarms and Events widget. With SmartServer 3.5 Update 2 and higher, you can also see the associated IP address for the user.
