Created Scheduled Tasks (Cron jobs) via Plesk GUI should be registered in the action log
At the moment the created Scheduled Tasks (Cron jobs) via Plesk GUI are not registered in the action log.
Also, according to /var/log/messages and /var/log/cron it is not clear what task was created, the name of the task and it is also difficult to understand was the cron task created or not.

This request should extend to Event Manager events as well, and the log should reflect both what was added and what was removed. If you define an 'Additional Administrator' with the intent on not giving them root access to the server, well now they've just gained the equivalent of root access with no logging of any activities they perform. They could add an event handler called on add physical hosting, whatever command they feel like, and then just add/remove a site, to have that command run as root. Or, they can add/remove a root cron job to execute whatever command they want, with no log of what the command was. This info should really be logged to syslog as well as action log, because once someone has gained the ability to execute commands as root, having those logs go remote in real time is the only thing keeping the log history safe.
