Where in the Google Cloud Console do you go to run queries and filter these logs?

Answer options:

Security Command Center

Logs Explorer (Cloud Logging)

IAM & Admin > Audit Logs

Cloud Trace

Full Answer

B.Logs Explorer (Cloud Logging)✓ Correct

Logs Explorer (Cloud Logging)

All Cloud Audit Logs are routed to Cloud Logging. To view, filter, and query these logs, you use the Logs Explorer in the Google Cloud Console. You can filter by resource type, log name (`cloudaudit.googleapis.com/activity`), and severity.

Common mistakes

Going to the 'IAM & Admin > Audit Logs' page, which is only for configuration, not viewing.
