Event Viewer API

Number of APIs: 2

Event Viewer records events completed through Control Center that are available to site administrators, such as configuration changes, login attempts, and log deliveries. You can use the Event Viewer API to read your Control Center event data. For example, as most event data is available for 90 days, you can use this API to archive data that's older than 90 days.

Note: Data for the Upload ECCU File and LDS Successful delivery events is available for seven days.
