The System Log documents events concerning the SignServer application but not necessarily related to any signing transaction. The System Log captures key and certificate management events, status properties updates, for instance for the status of the time source, and configuration changes.

Signing transactions are covered by the Worker Log. From version 3.4.0, SignServer uses the Secure Audit Log to perform audit logging.

For details on the events in the System Log, see the following table:
