Activity Log history by plan
The Activity Log is available on all Jetpack sites. The length of event history visible in your log depends on your plan:
- Jetpack Free plan: Shows the most recent 20 events.
- Jetpack VaultPress Backup or Jetpack Security plan: Shows events from the last 30 days.
- Jetpack Complete plan: Shows events from the past year.
For the Jetpack Complete plan, a maximum of 1,000 events shows in the feed. You can filter the events by date range and activity type, and the feed shows up to 1,000 events from that filtered range.
