# Checking Thing Connection via Event Logs Another very reliable, but more difficult method of checking if SIM card is connected to a network is to check out Thing Event Logs. There are 2 main ways to check out Thing Event logs: ### Checking Thing Events Logs via self-service console: 1\. Login to the Monogoto portal***.*** 2\. Go to **Things** section of the portal***.*** ![](/files/gU81bFIhA047BKMQG58Q) 3\. Select a Thing from the list of seen Things in the portal***.*** ![](/files/cdRUB9rNR98LqE2A8oau) 4\. Use scroll bar, to scroll down to the end of the Thing Menu page. ![](/files/oW0cZ1Mpl7jH3rnFevhP) 5\. Check Events section of the Thing Menu page. ![](/files/J1XEyrCAUMz4QEnbfB4e) 6\. Search in Thing Menu newest events for one of the below provided examples: | Event Message example | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Success authenticate\_pdp\_context for Thing ICCID 8912372646888991 MNO= OMNITEL.

Example: *ThingId\_ICCID\_8912372646888991*\ \&#xNAN;**<<<\_EVENT\_SEVERITY\_>>>** - replace with the severity of the Event you wish to be displayed.\ \&#xNAN;**<<<\_GREATER\_OR\_EQUAL\_TIMESTAMP\_>>>** - replace with the timestamp of date/time to show greater or equal date/time Events. Please enter date/time in epoch format with milliseconds. [You may use a converter that can be found following this link.](https://www.epochconverter.com/)\ \&#xNAN;**<<<\_LESS\_TIMESTAMP\_>>>** - replace with the timestamp of date/time to show less than entered date/time Events. Please enter date/time in epoch format with milliseconds. [You may use a converter that can be found following this link.](https://www.epochconverter.com/)\ \&#xNAN;**<<<\_EVEN\_MESSAGE\_TYPE\_>>>** - replace with the Event message type to be displayed. \ \&#xNAN;**<<<\_RESULTS\_LIMIT\_>>>** - replace with how many results you want to be displayed.
