Logs
Identity Cloud creates log events that you can view and analyze for your business needs. The following types of actors can initiate log events:
- User: The interactions of your users with Identity Cloud. For example, authentications done by your users.
- Admin: The changes made by your administrator in the Identity Cloud Management console.
- API: The operations performed using the Identity Cloud API.
Log events are retained for 90 days. You can export log events if you want to keep log events beyond the retention period.
Log events is an incubating feature. Currently, not all interactions are covered by log events. See the list of events for additional information.
Search and Filter
You can search and filter the list of log entries by:
- Status: You can filter to show all, failed or successful events.
- Date: You can filter to show events in time frames or date frames.
- Data type and free text search: Free text search can be restricted to specified data types. You can specify all data, user ID, email, or description.
If no data type is specifically defined, then the default data type is **All data".
Use the search refresh icon to search and the remove icon to clear your search.
