Okta System Log (Syslog) events for adding applications may differ depending on whether the application is a part of the Okta Integration Network.

This article describes the different event types for adding applications to an Okta Org so that they may be identified in Syslog.

• Applications
• Okta System Log (Syslog)

When an application is integrated with a tenant, two distinct event types are generated. This solely depends on whether the application is added directly from the Okta Integration Network (OIN) or created manually using the Application Integration Wizard (AIW).

1. If the application is added via the Application Integration Wizard (AIW), the System log event type will show as application.lifecycle.create.

   • The Syslog search string is eventType eq "application.lifecycle.create".

1. If the application is added from the Okta Integration Network (OIN), the event type will show as application.lifecycle.update.

   • The Syslog search string is eventType eq "application.lifecycle.update".
