Event Monitoring Logs
Source Data for Your Dashboards
Understanding when and what to expect in your log files

● The CRM Analytics Event Monitoring App uses Event Logs to
provide insights into your org.
● In the unlikely case where no log files are generated for 24
hours, contact Salesforce.
● Log data is read-only. You can’t insert or update, log data.
● Use the EventType field to determine which files were
generated for your org.
● LogDate tracks usage activity for a 24-hour period, from 12:00
a.m. to 11:59 p.m. UTC time.
● An event generates log data in real time. However, daily log
files are generated during non-peak hours the day after an
event takes place. Therefore, daily log file data is unavailable
for at least one day after an event. For hourly log files,
depending on event delivery and final processing time, an
event is expected to take three to six hours from the time of
the event to be available in the log file.
● CreatedDate tracks when the log file was generated.
● Log files, represented by the EventType field, are generated
only if there is at least one event of that
type for the day.
● Log files are available based on CreatedDate for the last 30
days when orgs purchase User Event.
● All event monitoring logs are exposed to the API through the
EventLogFile object. There is no user interface access.
● The data in the log files is explained in the documentation.
For example, the Report Log Type details how the ‘Display
Type’ column explains if the report was hidden, showed
details, or was a dashboard.
● Continue to use the different log types as a reference when
as you explore and customize your dashboards.
