Automatic Reactivation of Okta Log Streaming

Okta does not support the automatic reactivation of log streaming. Administrators configure an Okta Event Hook to trigger an email alert notification when log streaming stops. This configuration alerts administrators immediately when a deactivation event occurs, allowing them to manually reactivate the stream.

An Okta Event Hook provides alerts for log streaming deactivation.

Configure an Okta Event Hook to trigger on the deactivation event, send a notification to an external endpoint, and use that endpoint to generate an email alert.

1. Configure an Event Hook to trigger when the System Log event system.log_stream.lifecycle.deactivate occurs.
2. Configure the Event Hooks to send a notification to the external endpoint.
3. Use the endpoint to generate an email or other alert.

NOTE: Refer to Event Hooks for guidance on setting up Event Hooks.
NOTE: Refer to Event Types for a list of event types.
