Missing api_limit Events in Auth0 Log Streams
Last Updated:
Overview
Auth0 Log Streams exclude api_limit events when the System - Notification category remains unselected in the stream configuration.
Selecting this category in the stream settings resolves the issue. Administrators observe api_limit events populating the Auth0 Dashboard under Monitoring and Logs, but these events fail to be delivered to the external Log Stream destination.
Applies To
- Auth0
- Log Streams
- Monitoring
Cause
Auth0 Log Streams handle event categorization and filtering using an allowlist model when administrators configure event category filters. Auth0 classifies all api_limit events under the System - Notification category. If the System - Notification checkbox remains unselected within the stream configuration, Auth0 automatically excludes these logs from the payload.
Solution
Enable the System - Notification category within the stream settings to ensure Auth0 delivers api_limit events to the external destination.
- Navigate to the Auth0 Dashboard.
- Go to Monitoring > Streams.
- Select the active log stream and go to the Settings tab.
- Scroll down to the Filter By Event Category section.
- Select the System - Notification checkbox.
- Select Save to apply the changes.
