# View events and event object payloads

View events triggered by your account and their event object payload in the Developers Dashboard.

[Workbench](https://docs.stripe.com/workbench.md) replaces the Developers Dashboard, and we automatically enable it for all new Stripe accounts by default. Configure this setting from the [Developers](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/developers) settings in the Dashboard.

Read about how to [view event activity](https://docs.stripe.com/workbench.md#events) in Workbench.

When you send an API request, Stripe logs one or more events for your account. This page describes how to view events triggered by your account and their event object payload in the Developers Dashboard.

## How events are logged

This table describes the different ways Stripe logs an [Event](https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types.md) for your account.
