Export Logs to Segment

The Auth0 Logs to Segment extension consists of a scheduled job that tracks the following Auth0 log events:

• Success Signup

• Success Login

• Failed Login

This extension differs from other log extensions as it does not send actual tenant log information. For each of these events, the extension sends the user's profile and event type to Segment.

To install and configure this extension:

1. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Extensions, and select Auth0 Logs to Segment. The Install Extension window opens.

   

2. Set the following configuration parameters, and select Install:

• Schedule: The frequency with which logs should be exported. The schedule can be customized even further after creation.

• BATCH_SIZE: The number of logs to be sent per batch. Maximum is 100. Logs are batched before sending, and multiple batches are sent each time the extension runs.

• START_FROM: The checkpoint ID of the log from which you want to start sending.

• SLACK_INCOMING_WEBHOOK: The specific Slack webhook to which you want to send reports from the extension.

• SLACK_SEND_SUCCESS: Choose whether to send verbose notifications to Slack. Useful for troubleshooting.

• SEGMENT_KEY: Your segment key.

The integration between Auth0 and Segment is now in place!

When setting your BATCH_SIZE, please keep the following information in mind.

During each time frame/window (defined by your chosen Schedule), outstanding logs will be batched into groups and sent. The size of each group is determined by the BATCH_SIZE value.

In other words, during each window, NUM_BATCHES batches of logs will be sent based on the following logic:

IF (NUM_LOGS modulo 100 == 0): NUM_BATCHES = (NUM_LOGS / BATCH_SIZE) ELSE: NUM_BATCHES = (NUM_LOGS / BATCH_SIZE) + 1

In the ELSE case, the last batch will have < 100 logs.

The integration you just set up created a scheduled job that will be responsible for exporting the logs.

To view this scheduled job:

1. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Extensions, and select Installed Extensions.

2. Select Auth0 Logs to Segment. The job you just created appears. You can modify its state by toggling the State switch, see when the next run is due, and see the result of the last execution.

   

You can view more details by clicking on the job you created. On this page, you can view details for each execution, reschedule the job, access realtime logs, and more.

In the event of a Segment failure or service interruption, you can replay the logs starting from the failed log.

To replay logs:

1. Get the checkpoint ID of the failed log.

2. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Extensions, and select Installed Extensions.

3. Select the gear icon to view Auth0 Logs to Segment extension settings.

4. Enter the checkpoint ID in the START_FROM field.

5. Select Save.

This extension can send failed transaction notifications to Slack with the checkpoint code displayed in the message. To set up the integration:

1. Get the Slack Incoming Webhook URL.

2. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Extensions, select Installed Extensions.

3. Select the gear icon to view Auth0 Logs to Segment extension settings.

4. Enter the Slack Incoming Webhook URL in the SLACK_INCOMING_WEBHOOK field.

5. Select Save.

You can also enable verbose notifications by enabling the SLACK_SEND_SUCCESS setting.
