`level`	enum	No	Log level, from most to least verbose: `Trace`, `Debug`, `Info` (default), `Warn`, `Error`, `Fatal`, or `Panic`.
`log_path`	string	No	If specified, component will be written in `json` format to a file at this path. Default is to write the log to `stdout` in human-readable format
`log_file_mode`	uint32	No	If `log_path` is specified and the file does not exist, this is the mode the file will be created with. Default is `0o600`.

Audit Logging

Audit logging records the following fields:

time: Time
authorized: true or false
authorization_decision_data: Data from authorization engine
authenticated: true or false
authentication_method: SESSION or BEARER
entity: Entity type
operation: CREATE, READ, UPDATE, or DELETE
request_id: Unique ID for HTTP request
request_method: HTTP Method
request_remote_addr: HTTP Remote IP/Port
request_user_agent: HTTP User Agent Header
request_url: HTTP URL
request_x_forwarded_for: HTTP X-Forwarded-For Header
session_id: Session ID
result: SUCCESS or FAILURE
response_status: HTTP Response Status Code
user_id: User's database ID
user_identifier: User's Username or Email
user_name: User's Name

By default, audit logging runs at Info level, logs to stdout in human readable format, and only logs CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE operations. To enable audit logging for READ operations also change it to Trace level.

Example: write all operations to an audit log file at /var/log/scp-audit.log in json format:

logging:
  components:
    audit:
      level: Trace
      log_path: /var/log/scp-audit.log
