# Viewing Events

The **EVENTS** tab shows a log of all the arming and disarming activity and all events related to access control, including access granted and access denied. Events are logged showing what type of action occurred, by whom, at what reader or door, and when.

Events from the past 24 hours are displayed by default.

***

### **Filter Events**

1. From the **EVENTS** tab, click the filter drop-down box (set to '24 Hours' by default).
2. Select the required timeframe; 24 Hours, 7 Days, 30 Days, or Custom.
3. If you selected Custom, enter the **From** and **To** date, and click **Apply**.
   1. The Events from the specified timeframe appear on the screen.
4. Scroll down to load all the Events from the specified time.

***

### **Export Events**

Events can be exported and sent as a CSV file via email.

1. From the **EVENTS** tab, click **SEND REPORT**.
   1. A pop-up message will confirm the email address it will be sent to.

The report data is based on what filters are currently applied. If no filter is applied, it will send the past 24 hours of events.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/smb/smb-app/activity-and-incident-management/viewing-events.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
