<p>Running a GKE cluster with 1.8.1 - when I look at <code>/logs/kube-apiserver-audit.log</code>, it's completely empty. I've taken actions like creating deployments and deleting pods that have been visible in audit logs for clusters I've provisioned outside of GKE.</p>

<p>Is there a better way to view or access these kinds of events with GKE?</p>

<p>That would be because Container Engine 1.8 release does not enable the audit logging feature yet. From <a href="https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/release-notes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Release Notes</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>KNOWN ISSUE: Audit Logging, a beta feature in Kubernetes 1.8, is currently not enabled on Container Engine.</p>

<p>It will probably be enabled at some point in the future, I’d keep an eye on the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/release-notes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Release Notes</a>.</p>
