Enhanced Admin audit log events with improved schema and event modeling for better clarity and detail.
Google is updating the schema and event modeling for several Admin audit log events, particularly those related to account security, Gmail, and Drive settings, as well as other admin-defined setting audit logs. These enhancements are designed to make the logs more comprehensible, detailed, and accurate. The changes include modifications to event names, event types, and the overall volume of the affected log events. While some legacy events may become redundant, both new and old events will remain available during the transition period to allow administrators to adjust their existing queries, alerts, and reports. This update significantly improves the depth of analysis possible for cybersecurity incident investigation and data usage understanding.
