    Hi

    I am sorry if i am asking something that have already been discussed. I have search in this forum as much as i could.

    I have a whm license and i share whm root interface with 2 friends.

    My question is: Can i see a log with anything they do in whm? So if one of them connect to whm and change configuration for let's say easyapache or dns or resources of an account, can i see some logs or monitor or something that i see every move they done in whm as root?

    Thank you very much.

    The only logs for such activities are stored in

    and they are not much user friendly to trace out the activities you are looking for.

    Thank you that is a very very good log i mean i stay with tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log , and i press for example in whm "restart service"
    and guess what! it appears in log. It si very cool, every click in whm it seems to appear in that log. It's a lot and a lot of log i need to filter it so it don't show me lines i don't need to see it.

    Thank you very much.

    "tail -f" will show you the logs of current process so if "/json-api" is not called/accessed, it won't be available in the logs and cannot be outputted to a file.

    What you can do is to grep the access_log file once in a day and output the required logs in a file.
