In mid-2025, Geotab changed how third-party integrations (like Convey) authenticate to improve security.The "traditional" way of creating a user with a manual password and sharing it is being phased out in favour of Service Accounts, these are for API use ONLY Please follow this guide to create a service account <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KXJY3S6xyTjp9-qLgxo4PTedQjEuxrqKDlVWgfcC_lc/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.z27x8yefc1ly" target="_blank">MyGeotab Service Account Guidelines</a>

Hi, <a href="/user/ron-koontz-1279" data-id="1279" data-value="RKoon-1279" data-denotation-char="@" class="text-decoration-none mention">@RKoon-1279</a>​ You would do a Get Call for <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#T:Geotab.Checkmate.ObjectModel.Engine.StatusData" target="_blank">StatusData</a>StatusData is record that represents an engine status record from the engine system of the specific <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#T:Geotab.Checkmate.ObjectModel.Device" target="_blank">Device</a>. I hope this helps.

Hi @INACTIVE - dispatch dispatch@wrds.com​  The simplest way it to look in the <a href="https://www.geotab.com/blog/audit-log-report/" target="_blank">Audit logs</a>, there is really no point in me giving you much more than this link as the article as it is very comprehensive: Kudos to Aarthi Ravikumarhttps://www.geotab.com/blog/audit-log-report/  The shortest answer is :Log into MyGeotab, click Administrator, System, Audit Log under Options, choose the date range and Audit types (in there type, what edit you are looking for in your case type HOS and a couple of options will populate) Choose what you what, click Apply changes:<img src="/forum/plugins/gcs-uploads/files/0692J00000AKf86QAD.png" alt="audit log" />You can then download the report if you like. Happy Geotabbing!

How do I know if an authorized administrator edited a vehicle in MyGeotab or the driver?

Hi when looking for the description of a particular object in the MyGeotab environment always refer to the <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/" target="_blank">MyGeotab SDK</a>. In the <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/" target="_blank">Reference </a>page in the SDK, you will see many "Methods" you can use to retrieve and manipulate the data within MyGetoab some of the most common are "Add" "Get" ,"Set ", "Remove" "Authenticate" and many others. You can scroll through until you find what you are looking for.  Lets say you are looking at making a "Get" : "Devices" call and you would like to know everything available to you. First you would go to the <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#M:Geotab.Checkmate.Database.DataStore.Get1" target="_blank">"Get"</a> section then <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#T:Geotab.Checkmate.ObjectModel.Entity" target="_blank">Entity</a> ,<a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#T:Geotab.Checkmate.ObjectModel.Device" target="_blank">Device</a>, then lets choose the most current device the <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#T:Geotab.Checkmate.ObjectModel.Go9" target="_blank">Go9</a> and finally you will see <a href="https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/#T:Geotab.Checkmate.ObjectModel.Go9" target="_blank">Properties</a>.  This will give you the Device's property name, the format of the property (Boolean, Array, number,string object etc.) and a description of said property:<img src="/forum/plugins/gcs-uploads/files/0692J00000AKf3GQAT.png" alt="2020-07-21 22_21_35-" />

How can I integrate my software as an add in Using Geotab SDK?
