Answer
Audit logs are synchronous; heavy logging slows API request handling.
Quick Answer
Every API request is logged with its user, action, resource, timestamp, and response — including the full request/response body if configured. At high request rates (busy clusters), audit logging writes megabytes per second to disk, synchronously, blocking API server request processing. Use structured logging, filter out high-volume read requests, and write to a fast storage backend.
