EventLogFile

Represents event log files for event monitoring. The event monitoring product gathers information about your Salesforce org’s operational events, which you can use to analyze usage trends and user behavior. This object is available in API version 32.0 and later.

You can interact with event monitoring data by querying fields on the EventLogFile object (like EventType and LogDate). To view the underlying event data, query the LogFile field. The EventType determines the schema of this field. For more information, see EventLogFile Supported Event Types.

Log data schema for each EventType can change. With each new release, use the LogFileFieldNames and LogFileFieldTypes fields to validate the schema changes. In the unlikely case where no log files are generated for 24 hours, contact Salesforce.

Note

For details about event monitoring, see the Trailhead Event Monitoring module or Force.com REST API Developer’s Guide.
