# Job Configuration Change Tracking

The report provides information on job configuration changes performed within the reporting period, and shows the exact time when changes were made and users who performed these changes.

## Description

Veeam Backup & Replication jobs can be configured in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager web portal, using PowerShell or REST API. Veeam backup agent jobs can be configured in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager web portal and Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Control Panel. In large environments with multiple backup administrators it is often hard to tell who changed job settings, when and what was changed.

The **Job Configuration Change Tracking** report helps you track job modification changes performed within the reporting period, identify who and when made changes to job configuration, and thus simplify troubleshooting.

::: note

1. To run the **Job Configuration Change Tracking** report, you must have Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center installed. 
2. The report allows you to track job configuration changes only for the **Standalone** and **Managed by agent** type of Veeam backup servers. 

:::

## Parameters

Date/time Selection: defines the time period to analyze in the report.

Scope: defines a list of servers that will be analyzed in the report (by default, the **Veeam Backup Server Group** and **Veeam Agents Group** are selected). The **Add Group** option returns a group and all objects that the group contains. The **Add Object** option returns only the selected object.

Job Type: defines types of jobs that will be analyzed in the report ( *Backup* , *Replication* , *SureBackup* , *VM/File Copy* , *Backup Copy* , *Backup to Tape* , *File to Tape* , *Agent Backup Job* ). By default, all types of jobs are selected.

User Name: defines accounts of backup administrators whose activity will be analyzed.

::: note

1. The *N/A* user name includes all users that could not be identified by Veeam MP. 
2. The list of user names may be empty in case no changes were made since Veeam management packs were imported.
