Utilize the API LogFile to generate an Excel sheet

In Salesforce, the EventLogFile object represents a log file that captures information about specific events that occur within an organization’s Salesforce environment.

These events can include things like user login attempts, report exports, data access requests, and changes to certain types of records, among others. The information captured in an EventLogFile can be used for troubleshooting, auditing, compliance, and security purposes.

EventLogFile records are automatically generated by Salesforce for certain events, and can also be created programmatically by Apex code or through the Salesforce REST API. The log files are stored in a compressed format and can be accessed through the Setup menu or programmatically using the Salesforce API.

It’s worth noting that there are some limitations and considerations when working with EventLogFiles, such as storage limits, data retention policies, and the potential impact on system performance. Therefore, it’s important to carefully plan and manage the use of EventLogFiles in your Salesforce environment.
