Help! I for sure enabled the app names"Auditing / Logging" multiply times. “core” logs, “PHP” logs, “index” logs and others are all updating in my “user icon” =\> “settings” =\> “administration” =\> “logging”, except the “audit” logs! What is going on? What can I do to fix it? I have been researching this for hours, and still no ideas, changed log level, install app, nothing works. thanks for any helps!

Did you specify the location of the audit log in your configuration:

Per default it is in separate file called `audit.log` under your **data** directory and it is not accessible via GUI.

For those that end up in this old thread, the Logging chapter was updated in the past year. It includes a write-up on how to integrate the audit.log with the nextcloud.log and make both available in the web ui:
