If you want those updates to be automatic, you should change that
display message immediately to download and install automatically.
As for checking logs, you can check under these:

/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log

/var/log/dpkg.log

With automatic updates enabled, all actions performed will end up there.
Well, in /var/log/dpkg.log other actions, like manually installing
packages will be recorded too, but you will be able to see performed
actions. If you would like to be informed about automatic upgrades with
mail, you will have to edit file:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

and find and uncomment line //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root";

Hope that this helps.
