Full Answer

Cloud Audit Logs are divided into several types. Admin Activity logs contain log entries for API calls or administrative actions that modify the configuration or metadata of resources (e.g., creating a VM, modifying a firewall rule). These are enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

Common mistakes

Confusing Admin Activity (modifying resources) with Data Access (reading/writing data inside resources).
