Summary:
Microsoft is introducing the HighCompleteness parameter to the Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet, which provides a more comprehensive set of audit log records by prioritizing completeness over speed. The parameter can result in slower performance, and it will be available for public preview in mid-March 2024 and for general availability in early April 2024. There will be no immediate impact on existing usage, and users can refer to a sample request to use the new parameter. No admin action is required for the rollout. For more information, refer to the provided link.

Details:
The Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet is used to retrieve Audit logs from a specific date range or filtered results based on specified criteria. Very large queries aimed at retrieving a large number of audit records are susceptible to timeouts and may miss some results. With this new feature, we are introducing the HighCompleteness parameter to the cmdlet.
When enabled, the HighCompleteness switch is designed to provide a more exhaustive and comprehensive set of audit log records by prioritizing completeness of the search results over the speed of retrieval.
Please note that using this parameter can result in slower performance in terms of how quickly the results are returned.
