The Action History in MikroTik is a feature on the MKController platform that logs all modifications made to the device, allowing you to track which settings were changed, when, and by whom. This feature is essential for network management and security, ensuring greater control over the activities performed.
Why is the history important?
- Tracking changes – Quickly identify configuration changes, such as firewall adjustments, IP modifications, or changes to the task scheduler (Scheduler).
- Security and auditing – Prevent unauthorized access and maintain a detailed log for audits and compliance with IT policies.
- Easy troubleshooting – If a problem arises after a change, you can consult the history to understand what was modified and revert it, if necessary.
