+### Audit
+Accumulo has a robust and fully configurable audit logging service that logs most table actions, both successful and failed attempts.  Audit logs are managed through the slf4j named logger `org.apache.accumulo.audit`.  The logger can be added to an existing logging framework or the sample file  `conf/log4j-service.properties` can be used to provide basic audit logging.

 Review comment:
   No worries. It's something everyone does poorly at some time or another. I like to joke that the reason I try to suggest people improve their commit log messages is so that I will continue to hold the record for the longest and worst commit message in Accumulo's git history: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/commit/8851c3578e5b12281a47fdb0b0f7c43516a544d6
