Hi

 

I am new to using the Saleforce API.  I would like to know if it is posiible to get all events that track activities/actions performed by all users that belong to a organization.

 

Thanx

This is provided in Audit Trail in salesforce. it track over all activities and actions performed by any user.

you may get it navigating : 

  Setup -> Administration Setup - > Security Controls->View Setup Audit Trail

Can the Salesforce API be used to get the same info ?  

 

Thanx

Setup audit trail only shows things that developers and administrators have done from a configuration and setup point of view. It will not show everything that all users have done in your organization. I don't know that there's a single API call that will give you everything like you asked.

Can you point me to a API that gets this info for a given Object in Salesforce. since it is not possible to do the same for all objects and users ?

No Jhon there is not API to do this so Audit trail is only the way to achieve it. I think all are tuned with same answer so

Hi,
 This can be possible with Salesforce API's but in differrent way.
There is an app AutoRABIT (https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000000ptkwEAA) in appexchange which uses Salesforce API's and does track all metadata changes based on given date/time,metadata type/name,createdby/modifiedby user etc..Unlike View Setup Audit Trail which dispalys only latest 20 changes where as from this app we can track all changes.
  Sample screenshot is

Thanks,
Niranjan.

Hi John,
 
There is a paid feature EventLogMonitoring which is supported by salesforce. This tracks all the user activities, event types and capture the fields. There are around 28 evet types which can be tracked with this feature.
Using your developer org, you can test it for event types where the data is retained for 1 day.
If you get this feature enabled in your org, data can be retained for 30 days. By default only LOGIN, LOGOUT eventypes are tracked in your sandbox.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Sravika
