Stick a cloaked sat with sensors in the same system as your mines. With that, you see the whole system - ships, planets, (your) mines - all of it. (Except their cloaked stuff) That's the only way I know of to always be able to see. It is quite effective, however is difficult to achieve in early games since cloaking and sensors are both relatively expensive research items when compared with weapons.
EDIT: However, this won't force the event (detonation, minefield sweep, etc.) to show in the log (I don't think).
