 Auditing allows you to track important changes to your Grafana instance. By default, audit logs are logged to file but the auditing feature also supports sending logs directly to Loki.
 
+Only API requests or UI actions that trigger an API request generate an audit log.
+
 > **Note:** Available in [Grafana Enterprise]({{< relref "../../enterprise/" >}}) version 7.3 and later, and [Grafana Cloud Advanced]({{< ref "/docs/grafana-cloud" >}}).
