Viewing the device rename status

When a device is renamed, Information Governance logs the status of the rename operation in the Information Governance event log and the webserver log file.

To access the event log, on the Console > Settings > Inventory > SharePoint Web Application, Filers, or equivalent data source > Select Action > Event Log.

You can filter the logs related to renaming operation, by setting the Severity to Config.

See Location of Information Governance logs. for information about the webserver.log file.
