# System events

System events track administrative and user actions that occur through the Domino platform interface and APIs. Domino records these actions as system events:

* Project creation, cloning, archiving, and configuration

* Dataset creation, updates, snapshots, and platform access

* Repository file operations via the UI

* User and role management

* Application, job, workflow, and model lifecycle activity

* Governance workflows, approvals, and findings

* NetApp-backed volume and external data source management

* Configuration record changes

## Filter and view system events

The Audit Trail table displays event name, timestamp, user, and target resource.
