# Audit Trace Logs

Audit information is output to log files (and `stderr`), and is configured by the server parameters `log_trace` and `console_trace`.

For more information on these parameters, see Tracing and Log File Parameters.

The `DEFAULT` setting includes `+ADMIN`, so all administrative operations produce audit output. For further details, see Server Tracing Options,.

Audit information in log files always includes a time stamp.

Administrators can read and print the log files for audit review using tools (such as text editors) commonly available within all IT environments. EMS software does not include a special tool for audit review.
