I have a set of X450e switches in a stack. I believe that the log config changes under the management section is in a disabled state. I believe that changes may have been made to the stack. Although I have SNMP monitoring in place, I do not have track of any configuration changes. The logs are not indicating anything. Also it is possible that the logs may have been periodically overwritten. Is there anything I can do to see if a command execution or change has taken place. Appreciate the help.

You can audit config if you enable cli-config-logging. It will log all commands with the corresponding user.
It is also a good practice to export syslog to a secure server or Ridgeline, so it cannot be deleted by switch commands.
configure syslog add vr VR-Default local0
enable log target syslog vr VR-Default local0
configure log target syslog vr VR-Default local0 filter DefaultFilter severity Debug-Data
configure log target syslog vr VR-Default local0 match Any
You could change VR and severity according to your needs.

If you didn't enable cli-config-logging, I don't know how to tell if something has changed.
You can try looking at the date of "primary.cfg" file, typing ls, it will tell the last time the config was saved.
