Grid conventions
- All log grids support column filter, sort, and pick.
- Grids share the default 1000-row cap. Click Load all to override (performance-heavy on long histories).
- Use the toolbar's filter to narrow by date range, Initiator, Status, or other column values.
Constraints
- Not every configuration-plane action necessarily produces an entry in the Change log or Security log. Operational and service accounts can bypass entity metadata tracking.
- A missing log menu entry can indicate that the surface is not enabled for the deployment, not just an RBAC issue.
