To ensure Verkada admins are able to access historical events and logs prior to June 10, 2021, the legacy logs will still be accessible and the data can be exported. It’s highly recommended that the historical logs are exported in case the log data is needed for future reference. Logs can be exported by navigating to the legacy view of the organization and camera audit logs.
