+### Audit
+Accumulo has a robust audit service that logs most table actions, both successful and 
+failed attempts.  Audit logs are not enabled by default, but can be turned 
+on by editing the conf/log4j-service.properties file.  Audit logs are written to the same 
+location as the master, monitor and tserver logs, unless redirected in the conf/log4j-
+service.properties file.  Audit logs can be configured for the shell in conf/log4j.properties.
 
 Review comment:
   Chris,
   
   Thanks for the comments, I attempted to capture the main points you stated in my update, but please let me know if there is something missing or wrong.
   
   Maybe we should also update the Configuration Files page at the Log Configuration Files section and add a comment that the log files are samples and that the loggers in those files can be added to any existing log4j logging framework instead of using those files.  Let me know what you think about that, or if you think that should be a separate ticket.
