Important Viewing Real-Time Event Monitoring events requires Salesforce Shield or Salesforce Event Monitoring add-on subscriptions. You don’t need this add-on to view streaming logout events.

Note

Real-Time Event Monitoring objects sometimes contain sensitive data. Assign object permissions to Real-Time Events accordingly in profiles or permission sets.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Events, then select **Event Manager**.
2. Next to the event you want to enable or disable streaming for, click the dropdown menu.
3. Select whether you want to enable or disable streaming or storing on the event.
