It is useful to understand who created or deleted an IDE. To achieve this, use [Acquia CLI](/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/acquia-cli), as Acquia CLI lets you filter out your Cloud Platform notifications easisly. Ensure that you adjust the `--limit` parameter to make it relevant. The rule of thumb is: the more you have Cloud Platform notifications, the more you’ll have to increase the limit.

    $ acli api:applications:notification-list myapplication --limit=100 | grep -B2 -A1 IDE
