**Discover Event Log Files**

With ELF browser, you can sort and explore Event Log Files by type, log date, log file length, and more. Easily filter by date and event type to find the data you need. You can access ELF Browser directly from Setup.

**Download Event Log Files directly from ELF Browser**

Download Event Log File data by selecting a date range, clicking the dropdown button to the right of the event log file, and selecting **Download as CSV File**.

Alternatively, use the File Download servlet by adding `/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=<ELF_ID_NUMBER>` after your org URL. For example, `https://mycompany.my.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=0ATRM000000dcbH0A0`. The file download begins automatically.
