True, but it reports the user and used client as well, like web app, mobile app, dashboard Y

I don’t understand the difference:  
Someone or some device always starts a flow? It doesn’t decide to run by itself.  
Can you elaborate on this, please?  
Maybe you mean the “trigger every Thursday” flows?

Also, do take a look at the [Audit app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-audit/101554). Great logging tool.
