Hi Auth0 Community,

We are currently performing integration testing on various log event types from Auth0. The documentation lists around 149 different event type codes from here ([https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/logs/log-event-type-codes](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/logs/log-event-type-codes)), but it’s unclear which of these are specifically security-related events (e.g., logon failures, MFA challenges, etc.).

Can someone from the community or Auth0 team please share a list of event type codes that are considered security events?

This will help us focus our integration testing on high-priority scenarios
