 1 | ## A Simple Python Script for Downloading EventLogFiles
 2 | 
 3 | ### Pre-requisites
 4 | 
 5 | Elf.py is built on the Python Standard Library. Your script will automatically import the following modules:
 6 | 
 7 | * import urllib.request
 8 | * import json
 9 | * import getpass
10 | * import os
11 | * import sys
12 | * import gzip
13 | * import time
14 | * from io import BytesIO
15 | 
16 | As a result, there shouldn't be a need to install any other modules. However, you should verify that you have python. Open a terminal (or cmd in Windows) and type:
17 | 
18 |       $ python --version
19 | 
20 | You should see
21 | 
22 |       Python 3.x or 2.x. If you have 2.x use elf2.py or upgrade.
23 | 
24 | If you do not, you may need to install it: https://www.python.org/downloads/
25 | 
26 | If you have multiple versions of python installed, you can declare which version you want on the command line:
27 | 
28 |       $ python --version
29 | 
30 | For more information, read the help topic (https://docs.python.org/3/installing/#work-with-multiple-versions-of-python-installed-in-parallel).
31 | 
32 | ### Download
33 | 
34 | To use this script, just click the Download ZIP button in GitHub and store locally on your laptop or desktop.
35 | 
36 | ### Run Script
37 | 
38 | From the terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded elf.py. For instance
39 | 
40 |       $ cd ~/Users/<User>/Desktop
41 | 
42 | To run the script, type:
43 | 
44 |       $ python elf.py (or python elf2.py for old python version)
45 | 
46 | You will be prompted for several inputs:
47 | 1. Username
48 | 2. Password (hidden)
49 | 3. Date range (recommend: *Last_n_Days:2* instead of Yesterday)
50 | 4. Output directory
51 | 
52 | It's possible to change the defaults for these four prompts within the code. I recommend this if you want to test or automate the script.
53 | 
54 | The output will be an Event Log File CSV (Comma Separated Values) file for each day in the date range with the following file name convention: yyyy-mm-dd-eventtype.csv. For instance:
55 | 
56 |       2019-10-08-Login.csv
57 | 
58 | ### Troubleshooting
59 | 
60 | I tested this script on Ubuntu Linux, Mac OSX, and Microsoft Windows platform. However, that doesn't mean you won't run into problems.
61 | 
62 | One issue I did encounter was the use of a security token with your password if you are in a non-whitelisted organization or profile. Many administrators won't encounter this but if you try to log into the API without the token, you'll be blocked.
63 | 
64 | To reset your token, go to My Settings | Personal | Reset My Security Token. 
65 | 
66 | If you don't see this menu item, then a security token is *not* required.
67 | 
68 | When entering your password with a security token, the token follows your password:
69 | 
70 | If your password = "mypassword"
71 | And your security token = "XXXXXXXXXX"
72 | You must enter "mypasswordXXXXXXXXXX" in place of your password
73 | 
74 | You can also read more about this in the help topic (https://help.salesforce.com/htviewhelpdoc?id=user_security_token.htm&siteLang=en_US).
75 | 
76 | You may also encounter a login error due to the ClientId and ClientSecret. If you do, make sure to change the constants in elf.py to reflect your own ClientId and ClientSecret. You can read more about how to create your own ClientId and ClientSecret in the help topic (https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=connected_app_create.htm&language=en_US).
77 | 
78 | ### Supported platforms
79 | 
80 | Supported platforms: MacOS, Linux, and Windows.
