Enable verbose audit logs

Verbose audit logs are additional audit logs recorded whenever a query or command is run in your workspace. These logs record the text of each command or query. By default, these logs are not enabled in workspaces.

To enable or disable verbose audit logs, do the following:

1. As a workspace admin, go to the Azure Databricks admin settings page.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Next to Verbose Audit Logs, enable or disable the feature.

When you enable or disable verbose logging, an auditable event is emitted in the category workspace with action workspaceConfKeys. The workspaceConfKeys request parameter is enableVerboseAuditLogs. The request parameter workspaceConfValues is true (feature enabled) or false (feature disabled).
