Summary:
Audit logs for Datamarts will transition to the Microsoft Fabric Platform, eliminating redundant entries and improving clarity. This change will occur from June 22, 2025, to July 7, 2025. No admin action is required, but users should be informed, and documentation updated. Learn more [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/power-bi/enterprise/service-admin-auditing).
Details:
We are making a change to align with the unified audit model in Microsoft Fabric. As part of this effort, we will deprecate the previously duplicated Audit Event entries emitted by Datamarts, which are already captured by the Fabric Platform. This update ensures that all standard Create/Update/Delete/Read Artifact actions are consistently captured through the Fabric Platform, eliminating redundancy and improving audit clarity.
[When this will happen:]
We will be retiring this legacy audit event behavior from Datamarts starting June 22, 2025, and completing the retirement by July 7, 2025. Instead, we recommend relying solely on the Fabric Platform audit logs, where we will continue to invest our development resources and enhancements.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you have a filing cabinet system in your office. Previously, you had two separate cabinets for storing the same type of documents, which often led to confusion and redundancy. You had to check both cabinets to ensure you had all the necessary information, which was time-consuming and inefficient.
Now, picture this: you're transitioning to a new system where all documents are stored in a single, unified cabinet. This new cabinet is more organized and easier to access, so you no longer need to worry about missing information or duplicate entries. This change simplifies your filing process, making it clearer and more efficient.
Similarly, in the IT world, Microsoft is making a change to its audit logging system for Datamarts. Previously, audit logs were recorded in two places, which could lead to confusion and redundancy. By transitioning to a unified logging system under the Microsoft Fabric Platform, all the necessary information will be captured in one place. This change eliminates duplicate entries and improves clarity, much like consolidating your documents into one filing cabinet.
This transition will take place between June 22, 2025, and July 7, 2025. During this period, the old system of logging audit events separately will be phased out. Users won't need to take any action, but it's important to inform them of the change and update any internal documentation to reflect the new system. Just as you would inform your team about the new filing cabinet system, keeping everyone in the loop ensures a smooth transition.
In summary, this update simplifies the audit logging process by consolidating all entries into a single platform, much like organizing your documents into one efficient filing cabinet.
