Audit logging

Audit logs record system events that occurred, when and where they occurred, and which users initiated them. With audit logging, configuration changes to the system get logged in separate log files for auditing.

Audit logs also display northbound operation details such as POST, DELETE, and PUT with payload information, and southbound operation details such as the configuration pushed to a device.
