Description

Problem Statement

We have a few loggers that are trying to write an audit trail type logs :

  • ActivityLogger
  • SecurityLogger
  • AdminLogger

In my mind, these all should be piped through the SecurityLogger as that decorates the logs with user and ip and then logged appropriately.

Steps to Reproduce

All audit type logs should be logged under the securitylog

Acceptance Criteria

make sure the logs are coming out of security logs

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating ActivityLogger, SecurityLogger, and AdminLogger and tracing their audit-log callers. Done means audit-type logs are emitted through SecurityLogger and retain the required user and IP context, with tests or verification covering the affected log paths.
