How to enable audit logging?

Troubleshooting

Tried to follow the guide in:

Nothing happens. audit.log is not written. We have Enterprise license.

How do I really enable it, so everything possible (except debug) is written to it?

@deemon If you want audit logging, you can put this block in the `ExperimentalAuditSettings.AdvancedLoggingJSON` section of your config:

{
    "file_1": {
        "type": "file",
        "format": "plain",
        "levels": [
            { "id": 100, "name": "audit-api" },
            { "id": 101, "name": "audit-content" },
            { "id": 102, "name": "audit-permissions" },
            { "id": 103, "name": "audit-cli" }
        ],
        "options": {
            "compress": true,
            "filename": "./logs/audit.log",
            "max_age": 1,
            "max_backups": 10,
            "max_size": 500
        },
        "maxqueuesize": 1000
    }

You can change the output file path or name as needed. Log levels like “debug” don’t work for audit logging, which is different than the main logger.
