Enhance documentation and functionality for "audit log" for Process Admin Console

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently the Cloud Pak for Business Automation documentation explains how to enable "audit logging" to track changes that are made by administrators in the Process Admin Console.

"Enabling the audit log"
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/24.0.1?topic=customizing-enabling-audit-log

the article supplies links to a table of various "audit_log.xxxx" settings for both:

"IBM Business Automation Workflow Runtime and Workstream Services parameters"
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/24.0.1?topic=parameters-business-automation-workflow-runtime-workstream-services

"IBM Business Automation Studio parameters"
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/24.0.1?topic=parameters-business-automation-studio

.. but there are 2 shortcomings:

1) The published documentation does not supply any list of what actions will be logged

2) The audit logging function is currently not designed to allow selection of a subset of actions to be logged .. it is all or nothing. Most robust/mature audit logging facilities allow you to specify which actions you wish to have logged.

To address these shortcomings, this RFE (Request for Enhancement) / "Idea" asks:

1) Please, IBM, publish/maintain an exhaustive list of what actions will be logged. This could be in the form of upgraded documentation, or a way to interrogate the audit logging machinery directly, about what actions it is capable of logging.

2) Devise a way to allow selective enablement of a subset or perhaps individual loggable actions - preferrably on-the-fly, without the requirement to restart any servers.

This request could be made in 2 separate requests, if it is easier for development to handle.
