**Description**  
How can I look at past days of webhook logs?

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
Webhook

**Additional context**  
I understand that the zoom app webhook logs are kept for seven days, but our volume of webhook events make it impractical to view more than the past few minutes of calls through the web UI at [App Marketplace](https://marketplace.zoom.us/user/logs). I’m trying to investigate an issue that happened days ago. Is there a method through which those logs are available to export/download? Is there an API method to get them that I’m missing? Thanks!

Hi @jluker ,

I recommend having your webhooks delivered to an external database for long term storage. You can refer to an example set up here:

> [@Using Zoom API Events to Reduce API Requests: Testing with Webhook Only App & Requestbin (Free Developer Tools)](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/using-zoom-api-events-to-reduce-api-requests-testing-with-webhook-only-app-requestbin-free-developer-tools/63561):
>
> As developers, one of our biggest concerns can be designing scaleable product & system implementations. We want the solutions we craft to be low cost (with minimal technical & financial debt!) and simple for others to sustain. A challenge many Zoom developers of all license types face is running into API rate limits. To help inspire a fix for your use case, outside of increasing rate limits, we will explore an easy Zoom API Events configuration that helps you access the information you need wit…

Thank you!  
Gianni

Thanks, Gianni. I didn’t go into enough detail about what I was trying to do. We don’t send to the webhooks to a db, per se, but we do keep logs of the requests, including the data, going back quite a ways. What I’m trying to do is match up our data with what’s in the call logs on the zoom side. From an answer I received in a [separate post/ticket](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/occasional-high-webhook-latency-with-no-corresponding-call-log-entry/64479), it looks like what I’m asking for doesn’t exist.

Hi @jluker ,

I see. Thank you for this context! I responded to you [here](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/missing-webhook-events/64951/3) about next steps.

Best,
