Can we get system logs enabled? We need to use System Log API, to get system event information. We would like to get deleted user information.

Hi @AmolK.59325 (Customer),
I don't think there's anything you need to enable. You can just use e.g. below Postman collections to call Okta's APIs.

Yes, @JaniK.29243 (Customer) is absolutely correct, this is an out-of-the-box feature of Okta that does not require anything additional to be enabled. Please do take a look at the Postman collections linked above. If outside of Postman, you can also script this into a report using Python and the "Requests" module.
Additionally, seeing that you are concerned primarily with "Deleted Users", take a look at the following article from Okta, this will direct you to searching for this information from within Okta itself (which may be an easier option, depending on your need)
How to search for deleted users in the system logs
Hope this helps! Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. I had tried the API, but I received following error. Attaching the screenshot of postman reply I received while accessing System Log API.
"errorCode": "events_api_not_enabled",
"errorSummary": "/events api is deprecated and has been disabled for your account, please use /logs api . Please contact OKTA if you need this enabled.",
"errorLink": "events_api_not_enabled",
"errorId": "oaervh7q_6sTrixus84NAfmjg",
"errorCauses": []
Hi @AmolK.59325 (Customer) , Thanks for reaching out to the Okta Community!
@JaniK.29243 (Customer) & @DonF.81354 (Customer) are right. Typically you don't need anything.
Maybe there was something missed if the org was recently provisioned or if you SKUs changed.
Please open a case and one of our Support Engineers will work with you to get to the bottom this.
