feature flag. This includes the cleanups discussed above, such as changes to the `method`
values and the introduction of a "stage" for each event. As before, the `id` field of
the log indicates which events were generated from the same request. With default legacy

In alpha version, objectRef.apiVersion holds both the api group and version.
In beta version these were break out into objectRef.apiGroup and objectRef.apiVersion.
Starting from Kubernetes 1.8, structured json format is used for log backend by default.
Use the following option to switch log to legacy format:
```
--audit-log-format=legacy
```
With legacy format, events are formatted as follows:
```

```
Logged events omit the request and response bodies. The `Request` and
`RequestResponse` levels are equivalent to `Metadata` for legacy format.
Since Kubernetes 1.8, structed json fromat is supported for log backend.
Use the following option to switch log to json format:
```
--audit-log-format=json
```
With json format, events are formatted as follows:
```

`RequestResponse` levels are equivalent to `Metadata` for legacy format. This legacy format
of advanced audit is different from the [Legacy Audit](# Legacy Audit) discussed above, such
as changes to the method values and the introduction of a "stage" for each event.

### Audit-Id
Audit-Id is a unique ID for each http request to kube-apiserver. The ID of events will be the
same if they were generated from the same request. Starting from Kubernetes 1.8, if an audit
event is generated for the request, kube-apiserver will respond with an Audit-Id in the HTTP header.
Note that for some special requests like `kubectl exec`, `kubectl attach`, kube-apiserver works
like a proxy, no Audit-Id will be returned even if audit events are recorded.
