# Reviewing the Activity Log

Understanding investigation history

When Cleric investigates an issue, it maintains a detailed Activity Log that shows exactly what it did, what it found, and how it reached its conclusions. Reviewing this history helps you understand the investigation process, validate findings, and learn from Cleric's approach.

## Accessing the Activity Log

**From Slack**: Click the "Open in Cleric" link in any Cleric response.

**From Web**:

1. Navigate to `<your-company>.app.cleric.ai`
2. Go to **Issues** to see all investigations
3. Click any issue to view its complete history

## Understanding the Activity Log

The Activity Log shows Cleric's complete investigation process in chronological order:

**Investigation Planning**:

* Initial analysis of the problem
* Task planning and prioritization
* Investigation strategy decisions

**Tool Executions**:

* Which tools Cleric used
* Specific commands and queries executed
* Raw output from each tool

**Analysis and Reasoning**:

* How Cleric interpreted the data
* Connections made between different evidence
* Reasoning process for reaching conclusions

**Plan Updates**:

* How the investigation evolved based on findings
* Changes in direction or focus
* New tasks added based on discoveries

## Improving Future Investigations

When you identify areas where investigations could be better, here's how to help Cleric improve:

**Missing Context**:

* **Problem**: Cleric missed important environmental factors (maintenance windows, known system quirks, business context)
* **Solution**: Share this context with Cleric during the investigation. Cleric will offer to remember useful facts for future investigations.

**Tool Gaps**:

* **Problem**: Investigation failed because Cleric couldn't access needed data sources or got permission errors
* **Solution**: Configure additional integration access or update credentials in **Integrations**

**Pattern Recognition**:

* **Problem**: Cleric didn't recognize recurring failure patterns specific to your environment
* **Solution**: Tell Cleric about the pattern. Cleric will offer to remember this for future investigations.
