Unexpected Usage of the Auth0 Log Endpoint /api/v2/logs
Last Updated:
Overview
An unexpectedly high number of requests to the Auth0 Management API /api/v2/logs endpoint occurs when an administrator views tenant logs in the Auth0 Dashboard with Live Mode enabled. Disabling Live Mode in the Auth0 Dashboard prevents these automated calls. This activity appears even when no known system or service configures these calls, because the Live Mode feature triggers periodic polling in the background to display real-time log updates.
Applies To
- Auth0
- Management dashboard
- Tenant logs
- Monitoring logs
- Log Events
- Logs Live Mode
Cause
This situation occurs when tenant logs are viewed in the Auth0 Management Dashboard with Live Mode enabled. The Live Mode feature triggers periodic polling of the /api/v2/logs endpoint in the background to display real-time log updates. This polling continues automatically as long as the logs page remains open with Live Mode active.
Solution
How is the unexpected log endpoint usage resolved?
Disable Live Mode when viewing tenant logs in the Auth0 Dashboard to prevent the automated calls.
- In the Auth0 Dashboard, navigate to the tenant logs.
- Toggle the Live Mode switch to the off position.
