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.
