How to Enable Event Monitoring in Salesforce

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to activate event log tracking in your Salesforce org.

Quick summary

Salesforce Event Monitoring lets admins track user activity by generating event log files directly from Advanced Setup. Enabling this feature takes fewer than five steps and gives your security team full visibility into login, report, and API events across your org.


Steps

  1. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Salesforce dashboard to open the settings menu.
  2. Select Open Advanced Setup from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Quick Find search box, search for and select Event Monitoring Settings.
  4. Under Event Monitoring, enable the Generate event log files toggle.
  5. Confirm that Event Monitoring is now successfully enabled in your Salesforce org.

📌 Why this matters

Salesforce Event Monitoring is a critical security and compliance feature that gives administrators detailed visibility into user activity across their org. By enabling event log file generation, teams can detect suspicious logins, track API usage, audit report exports, and meet regulatory requirements such as SOC 2 and HIPAA. Without Event Monitoring enabled, security blind spots go undetected and incident response is severely limited. This demo shows exactly how to turn it on in minutes using Salesforce Advanced Setup.
