Missing api_limit Events in Auth0 Log Streams

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.

  1. Navigate to the Auth0 Dashboard.
  2. Go to Monitoring > Streams.
  3. Select the active log stream and go to the Settings tab.
  4. Scroll down to the Filter By Event Category section.
  5. Select the System - Notification checkbox.
  6. Select Save to apply the changes.
