Logging and Monitoring Best Practices

Use your Auth0 tenant logs to quickly identify, analyze, and resolve Auth0 tenant issues and proactively respond to security threats. This learning path is a must for any developer, security engineer, or anyone responsible for the health and security of their application's identity infrastructure. It is especially useful for those who manage and maintain authentication systems and need to perform in-depth analysis of authentication data. It's particularly useful for those responsible for monitoring and responding to security incidents, auditing user activity, and ensuring compliance.

By mastering Auth0 logs, you'll not only be able to troubleshoot issues but also gain critical insights into user behavior and ensure compliance.

Upon completing this learning path, you will gain the technical knowledge and practical skills to:

• Navigate and interpret Auth0 tenant logs to quickly troubleshoot authentication and authorization issues.
• Construct advanced log queries using Lucene syntax to perform highly specific searches and security analysis.
• Identify and analyze key events such as login attempts, MFA usage, password resets, and API calls.
• Establish a baseline for normal user behavior and identify common log anomalies that indicate security threats.
• Apply a systematic, symptom-driven approach to diagnose and fix common authentication problems like failed sign-ups and user account blocks.
• Understand and apply key logging best practices for clarity, granularity, and security, including managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to meet compliance requirements.
• Take immediate, actionable steps to respond to a suspected security incident based on your log analysis.
