Event Logs

Some examples of Event Log, with pagination support

This example deals with a few ways of pulling data from SoftLayer_Event_Log. There can ben quite a few Logs here, so I recommend using a filter like in the recentLogs function to limit how far back you search for Events, otherwise you will be paging through Events for a long time.
