API_TYPE	Type String Description The type of API request. Possible values are: `D`—Apex Class `E`—SOAP Enterprise `M`—SOAP Metadata `P`—SOAP Partner `S`—SOAP Apex `T`—SOAP Tooling `f`—Feed `l`—Live Agent `p`—SOAP ClientSync
API_VERSION	Type String Description The version of the API that’s being used. For example: `36.0`.

CLIENT_NAME	Type String Description The name of the client that’s using Salesforce services. This field is an optional parameter that can be passed in API calls. If blank, the caller didn't specify a client in the CallOptions header.
CPU_TIME	Type Number Description The CPU time in milliseconds used to complete the request. This field indicates the amount of activity taking place in the app server layer.
DB_BLOCKS	Type Number Description Indicates how much activity is occurring in the database. A high value for this field suggests that adding indexes or filters on your queries would benefit performance.
DB_CPU_TIME	Type Number Description The CPU time in milliseconds to complete the request. Indicates the amount of activity taking place in the database layer during the request.
DB_TOTAL_TIME	Type Number Description The time in nanoseconds for a database round trip. Includes time spent in the JDBC driver, network to the database, and DB_CPU_TIME. Compare this field to CPU_TIME to determine whether performance issues are occurring in the database layer or in your own code.
ENTITY_NAME	Type Set Description The name of the object accessed by the API request. For example: `Account`, `Opportunity`, `Contact`, and so on.
EVENT_TYPE	Type String Description The type of event. The value is always `API`.
EXCEPTION_MESSAGE	Type String Description The exception message for a SOAP API request. An exception message gives details about errors in handling an API request, such as why an API request failed. For example: `common.exception.ApiException: startDate cannot be more than 30 days ago`.
LOGIN_KEY	Type String Description The string that ties together all events in a given user’s login session. It starts with a login event and ends with either a logout event or the user session expiring. For example: `GeJCsym5eyvtEK2I`.

REQUEST_SIZE	Type Number Description The size of the callout request body, in bytes.
REQUEST_STATUS	Type String Description The status of the request for a page view or user interface action. For example: `S`—Success. Salesforce handled the request successfully. If an Apex controller throws an exception, this status is also returned. `F`—Failure. Typically 4xx or 5xx HTTP codes, such as no permission to view page, page took too long to render, page is read-only. `U`—Undefined `A`—Authorization Error `R`—Redirect.
