External Logs
This log shows events that occurred when interacting with external systems, including Remote Servers, external identity systems (LDAP, SAML), SIEM, Files.com on-premise Agent, and the Files.com CLI App.
It includes various items, such as logs sent from the Files.com CLI App detailing uploads and downloads, login attempts, login successes, and login failures for users using LDAP or SAML authentication, synchronization events from an external LDAP system to your Files.com account, connection success/failure events related to your SIEM integrations, and remote server synchronization events involving scheduled pushes and pulls of files and folders between Files.com and the remote server.
We retain these logs for 90 days.
If you are looking for the detailed individual actions performed with your remote servers or Files.com on-premise agents, refer to the Outbound Connections logs.
