## Capturing/Exporting Audit Logs

In addition to the user interface, there are multiple ways to consume or query audit trails.

## REST API

Audit logs can be accessed through our REST API. You can find detailed information about this in our [endpoint documentation](../api/audit#get-audit-logs).

## Service Logs

Audit trails are also dispatched as service logs and can be captured and categorized using any log management tool such as [Splunk](https://splunk.com).

Example of a [JSON formatted](../cli/server#--log-json) audit log entry:

```json
{
"ts":"2023-06-13T03:45:37.294730279Z",
"level":"INFO",
"msg":"audit_log",
"caller":"/home/runner/work/coder/coder/enterprise/audit/backends/slog.go:36",
"func":"github.com/coder/coder/enterprise/audit/backends.slogBackend.Export",
"logger_names":[
"coderd"
],
"fields":{

```

Example of a [human readable](../cli/server#--log-human) audit log entry:
