Viewing Events

Use the Events page to review what happened with a vehicle. You can filter events, explore the route on a map and timeline, and export data.

Open the Events page:

  • Go to Fleet → Vehicles → Table → Show Events for a vehicle, or
  • From a vehicle’s Inspect page, select Events.

Looking up a specific event?

Use the icon or event name to identify it in the Events Reference lookup page.

  • Initiated by — Who or what triggered the action

Open Filter to control what you see. For general information about filtering, see User Interface.

Event Filter

Filter options:

  • Time Range: 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 30 d, or set a custom date + start/end time.
  • Event Type: Add one or more event types.
  • Hide Vehicle States (CloudBoxx API: Hide Trackings): Focus on key changes by hiding routine state updates.

Actions:

  • Apply Filter — Run the search
  • Undo Changes — Reset the modal

Find just the important changes

After choosing a time period, select only the event types you care about (e.g., Ignition Changed, Central Lock Changed). For a full list of event types, see Events Reference.

Initiated By⚓︎

The Initiated by section shows who or what triggered a vehicle command or event. Use this to answer questions like “Which user triggered Event X at Time Y?”

Initiated by section showing event source
Initiator Description Reference
User FleetControl user action through the web interface. Shows user’s email address. Requires Fleet Users permission. User Management
Client API client command (e.g., booking app). Shows configured client name. Requires API Clients permission. API Clients
Bluetooth Bluetooth connection and direct CloudBoxx communication when cellular connectivity is weak in underground parking or dense urban areas. Bluetooth Integration
RFID Access card held to MultiCardReader to unlock or lock the vehicle. RFID MultiCardReader
AutoImmoLock CloudBoxx automation rules execute—for example, automatically locking the vehicle after a Bluetooth unlock. Auto Immobilizer Control

This event has no associated command or initiator.

"No associated command or initiator found" message

In rare cases, initiator information is not available for an event. This is typically due to a timing issue with the automatic linking between events and commands. The event itself is logged correctly and does not indicate an issue with your fleet operations. If you would like this checked, contact support.

Linked Commands⚓︎

Sometimes commands and events occur close together. Select the lookup icon to open Linked Commands—this lists all commands sent within 5 minutes of the selected event. Use this to see the full context around an event, including related actions that happened before or after.

  1. Select the Download icon next to Filter.
  2. In Event Export, select Export to compile and download.
  3. The file is saved to your browser’s downloads folder, named: events_<vehicle-plate>_<date>_<time>.csv
