Logging on the client isn't enabled by default, but I believe you can get that \
information by enabling it in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date config file.
writeChangesToLog[comment]=Log to /var/log/up2date which packages has been added and \
removed writeChangesToLog=1
Otherwise you can query the API to get all the events for a particular system.

I've found that /var/log/yum.log, on client systems, isn't updated when patching RHEL \
6/7 systems from a Spacewalk server (v2.8). I know details of patching activities can \
be found in the Schedule > Completed Actions or yum history, after the event, but is \
there any log on client or server that can be monitored from the command line \
actually during patching? It's just to monitor the patching activity, really, rather \
than a need to trace a problem or similar. If not, I presume that's because the \
details you see in Schedule > Actions are actually being directly written to the \
embedded PostgreSQL database?
