#  WP-CLI Commands log

The WP-CLI Commands panel in the [VIP Dashboard](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/)
displays a log of all WP-CLI commands that were run on an environment. WP-CLI commands
are run using [the VIP-CLI `vip wp` command](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-cli/commands/wp/).

Each logged command displays the following related information:

 * **Command:** The command that was run
 * **User:** The user that initiated the command. Users labeled “VIP” are members
   of the VIP Support team.
 * **Time (UTC):** Timestamp for when the command was initiated.
 * **Duration:** Time elapsed until the command was completed, canceled, or errored.
