B.Logs Explorer✓ Correct
Logs Explorer
All Cloud Audit Logs are written to Cloud Logging. To view, filter, and analyze these logs in the Cloud Console, you use the Logs Explorer. You can write queries to filter by resource type (e.g., `gce_instance`), log name (`cloudaudit.googleapis.com/activity`), and specific users.
Common mistakes
Looking for a dedicated 'Audit' page, rather than using the centralized Logs Explorer.
