Kubernetes audit logging

In addition to Cloud Audit Logs,Kubernetes audit logging providesa way for administrators to retain, query, process, and alert on events thatoccur in registered clusters. Administrators can use the logged information todo forensic analysis and real-time alerting, or for cataloging how a fleet ofclusters are being used and by whom.

The Connect Agent talks to the local API server running in the registeredcluster, and each cluster will have its own set of Kubernetes audit logs. Allactions that users perform from the UI through Connect are loggedby that cluster.
