To view local logs such as configuration changes and logins by a specific user, what should you do?

To view local logs such as configuration changes and logins by a specific user, accessing the event log and utilizing the filter by user function is the most effective approach. The event log provides detailed records of activities within the system, including user actions and configuration changes. This allows for targeted investigations into specific users' activities and simplifies the retrieval of relevant information, making it easier to analyze any changes or logins associated with that particular user.

The other potential options might provide some information, but they do not serve the purpose as effectively. While accessing system logs could give an overview of events, it does not offer the focused user-specific filtering capability needed for this particular task. Checking user accounts primarily provides information about user settings or privileges rather than logs of their actions. Reviewing the task monitor is generally aimed at current operations and processes rather than the historical logging of user actions. Therefore, filtering through the event log is the most appropriate method for obtaining the desired information.
