    Looker events

    This page describes the events that Looker generates and how to view them.

    Viewing events

    Looker events are visible in the System Activity Eventand Event AttributeExplores. You must be a Looker admin or have the see_system_activity permission to view the Eventand Event AttributeExplores.

    If you have enabled the System Activity Model Labs feature, you will see the list of System Activity Explores, including the Eventand Event AttributeExplores, at the bottom of your Explore menu.

    The EventExplore includes the Event view, which includes categories, created dates and times, and names of each event created.

    The Event AttributeExplore includes both the Event view and the Event Attribute view. The Event Attribute view shows the name and value of each attribute related to an individual event.

    Common event attributes

    Each Looker-generated event includes a set of data about the event. These common attributes are:

    Attribute Name Description
    id Unique numeric identifier of the event
    user_id Unique numeric ID of the user who triggered the event
    name Name of the specific event that occurred, for example, create_dashboard
    created Date and time, in UTC, that the event was created
    category High-level category associated with the event, for example, dashboard
    sudo_user_id Unique numeric ID of the actual user who is impersonating the user indicated by user_id
    is_looker_employee Whether the user identified by user_id is a Looker employee
    is_admin Whether the user identified by user_id is a Looker admin
    is_api_call Whether the event was caused by an API call

    List of event types

    The following table lists several events that can be generated by a Looker server.

    This list includes the name of the event, the action or situation that can trigger the generation of the event, and a list of attributes associated with each event.
