Event Log File Browser

A Salesforce connected web app to access and download Event Log Files. Access it on Heroku.

Overview

Salesforce event log file is a file-based API to get your Salesforce organization's application log data. These files provide visibility into your org for security auditing, application performance, and feature adoption.

Event log file browser is a Salesforce connected app built with Ruby on Rails to help you access and download event log files. The downloads are streamed to the web client via the Rails application using Rail's ActionController::Streaming.

  3. Enter the callback URL. For localhost, use http://localhost:3000/auth/salesforce/callback. If it's hosted, use https://<your domain>/auth/salesforce/callback. If you do not use SSL, you must set config.forcessl = false in config/environments/production.rb
  4. Add Access and manage your data (api) to the Selected OAuth Scopes.
  5. Fill out the remaining required fields and click Save.
  6. Once you save, you'll be taken to a page that has the consumer key and consumer secret.
  7. Repeat steps 1-6 for sandbox instance with a slight change in step 3 -- replace .../auth/salesforce/callback with .../auth/salesforcesandbox/callback
  8. Note your consumer key and secret and for both production and sandbox instances.
