About Live Logs

You can view and filter user activity, user status, application activity, and App Connector status data for real-time events. If you need to view past events for this data, use Diagnostics.

Accessing Live Logs

To view real-time events and log data for user activity, user status, application activity, and App Connector status:

  1. Go to the Live Logs page (Logs > Insights > Live Logs).
  2. Under Mode, choose one of the following options:
    • User: If selected, under Log Type, choose one of the following options:
      • Activity: Displays the User Activity page, which contains detailed user activity data for all users.
      • Status: Displays the User Status page, which contains detailed user status and authentication data for all users.
    • Application: Displays the Application Activity page, which contains detailed activity for all the applications that users have accessed or requested access to.
    • App Connector Status: Displays the App Connector Status page, which contains detailed activity for App Connectors and Public Service Edges.
    • Private Service Edge Status: Displays the Private Service Edge Status page, which contains detailed activity for your organization's Private Service Edges.

After a Mode is selected, you can view and further filter the Live Log data within the page.

Zscaler retains User Activity, User Status, and App Connector log information for rolling periods of at least 14 days during the subscription term. Zscaler retains Audit log information for at least 6-month periods during the subscription term. You can also view your logs or stream logs in real time using the Log Streaming Service (LSS).

Viewing User Activity Real-Time Events and Logs

On the User Activity page (Logs > Insights > Live Logs and select Mode: User and Log Type: Activity), you can:

  • You can see live user activity within the chart. When users request access to applications, the Public Service Edges or Private Service Edges record the data and send the user activity logs to Private Applications.

    User Activity chart

    The chart streams the number of user activity logs as well as the time that the event took place.

    User Activity chart with events

    The chart tracks up to 100 of the latest activity logs. It updates instantaneously when the Public Service Edges or Private Service Edges record new logs. By default, the table doesn't display any data. Click New Logs to populate the table. Every time you click New Logs the table refreshes, removing the older logs displayed with the newest.

    User Activity chart with event details

    If you have many applications, users, and App Connectors configured for your organization, the Real-Time Events table might potentially produce a lot of logs. When troubleshooting, Zscaler recommends filtering the logs by User and Application to avoid viewing irrelevant logs.

(This is the first part of the hop, and the log information is what appears for the connection.) The Private Service Edge then forwards the request to a Public Service Edge. The is the second part of the hop.
        You can click the link to view the log details for the second part of the hop. They appear below the session log.

      If there is a hop in the connection, it shows a hop icon.
