# Overview of Patch My PC Cloud Events

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

An event is written to the **Events** node whenever a user performs a task in the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud portal. Events are also created if the action a user performs triggers a component to perform an activity.

To access the Events node:

1. Using your portal account, sign in at <https://portal.patchmypc.com/>.
2. Navigate to **Events**.<br>

Only users assigned the **Full Admin** role will be able to see the **Events** node.

See [User Roles](/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/settings/users/user-roles-reference.md) for more information.

* [Export Events](/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/export.md)
* [Filter Events](/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/filter.md)

* [Change the number of Events per page](/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/configure.md)
* [Navigate between pages of Events](/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/navigate.md)

**Important**

Events are only held in the portal for 30 days, after which they are automatically groomed from the database. If you wish to keep events longer than 30 days, follow the [Export Events](/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/export.md) process.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/events/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
