Hello

Checking this list [[META] Feature Requests · Issue #246 · dani-garcia/vaultwarden · GitHub](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/246) it seems like Event Logging is implementet, but when i set up my docker container and org, the button is just missing.

How do i enable this feature?

If you only changed it in the `.env.template` than i understand it doesn’t work. It’s called template for a reason.  
Just put this env variable where you also set the other settings, like DOMAIN, ADMIN\_TOKEN etc…

Also you need to switch to `vaultwarden/server:testing`.

is this still in the testing branch?  
I’m trying to activate the org event logging for two days now, can see the events in the database, but they never arrive on my syslog server…

That is because they are only added to the database and viewable via the admin interface per organization.

Nothing like that is send out to logs or whatever. And it also will not happen any time soon i think. It’s not really part of how it works either for Bitwarden.
