Overview

Logs offer a comprehensive overview of recent email-related events for your account, including subaccounts. You can focus on up to three event metrics, further refining results with up to ten filter dimensions. Events are displayed in an intuitive table view, with the option to export data as a CSV file.

By default, Logs display the last 24 hours of all events.

Region

It's important to note that we keep events in our EU infrastructure separate from events in our US infrastructure, so if you don't see any events in your logs, make sure you have the correct region selected.

Date/Time Range

To change the date and/or time range, click on the date/time range selector and either pick from one of our preset ranges, or choose a custom date and time range. Please note that depending on plan level, event data is retained for up to 30 days.
