# Kibana audit events
Audit logging is a [subscription feature](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) that you can enable to keep track of security-related events, such as authorization success and failures. Logging these events enables you to monitor Kibana for suspicious activity and provides evidence in the event of an attack.
Refer to [enabling](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/security/logging-configuration/enabling-audit-logs) and [configuring](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/security/logging-configuration/configuring-audit-logs) audit logs for details on activation and tunning.

## Kibana audit events

This section describes Kibana events that can be logged for auditing purposes.
Each event is broken down into `category`, `type`, `action`, and `outcome` fields to make it easy to filter, query and aggregate the resulting logs. The `trace.id` field can be used to correlate multiple events that originate from the same request.
Refer to [audit schema](#xpack-security-ecs-audit-schema) for a table of fields logged with audit events.
<note>
  To ensure that a record of every operation is persisted even in case of an unexpected error, asynchronous write operations are logged immediately after all authorization checks have passed, but before the response from Elasticsearch is received. Refer to the corresponding Elasticsearch logs for potential write errors.
