Audit events are recorded by the Cloud.gov platform to track activity against any resource (e.g. users, services, apps, organizations, and more).

While audit events can be queried from the platform via an API, they are only retained by the platform for 31 days by default.

To simplify customer access to audit events and to satisfy [M-21-31 guidelines][m-21-31] for the retention of these logs, audit events are now available in the Cloud.gov logging system.
