intermediateReading Events Directly from the Event Store

How do you look up all events recorded for a specific aggregate in Axon Server?

Axon Server's dashboard, typically reachable at http://localhost:8024 in a local setup, includes a search section that lets you query the event store directly. Searching by aggregateIdentifier, for example aggregateIdentifier: "customer-123", returns every event stored for that one aggregate, in strict sequence order, exactly as it was persisted. The same lookup works for any aggregate type — accounts, cards, loans — since every aggregate annotated with @AggregateIdentifier gets its own independent, ordered event stream. This gives you a direct view of the source of truth, with no projection, cache, or application code standing between you and what was actually recorded.
