Configuring Google Cloud Platform
Prerequisite:
Data Access audit logs - except for BigQuery Data Access audit logs - are disabled by default because audit logs can be quite large.
If you want Data Access audit logs to be written for Google Cloud services other than BigQuery, you must explicitly enable them. Enabling the logs might result in your Cloud project being charged for the usage of the additional log. For instructions on enabling and configuring Data Access audit logs, see Configuring Data Access logs.
In the GCP Console, navigate to Logging under the Operations section and then click on Logs Explorer.
2. In the Query field run the following query after filling the Project_ID field
logName=("projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Factivity" OR "projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Fdata_access" OR "projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Fsystem_event" OR "projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Fpolicy")
