# Audit Logging

> **📝 Note**: Audit logging is available when using [Enterprise edition](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/getting-started-with-singlestore-helios/about-singlestore-helios/singlestore-helios-editions.md), where logs can be streamed to, and accessed through, third-party audit tools.

SingleStore Helios logs activities on both the **Control Plane** and **Data Plane**. This feature is useful for performing common information security tasks such as auditing, investigating suspicious activity, and validating access control policies.

## Audit Logging Architecture

## Control Plane

The Control Plane logs actions performed in the [Cloud Portal](https://portal.singlestore.com), for example, workspace management, user administration, authentication events, changes to Cloud Portal configuration, and more. These logs help administrators monitor changes to the infrastructure, ensure compliance with security policies, and investigate access-related events. Access Control Plane logs via the `/auditlogs` endpoint in the [Management API](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/reference/management-api.md).

Refer to [Control Plane Audit Logs](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/security/audit-logging/control-plane-audit-logs.md) for more information.

## Data Plane

The Data Plane logs database related operations, for example, queries, system responses, administrative operations, etc. Additionally, SingleStore provides multiple logging levels for the Data Plane, and each level provides limited or exhaustive information about user actions and database responses. These logs are essential for monitoring user activity, detecting abnormal behavior, and analyzing data access patterns. Data plane audit logs can be forwarded to and accessed using third-party audit tools.

Refer to [Data Plane Audit Logs](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/security/audit-logging/data-plane-audit-logs.md) for more information.
