We have SharePoint online site collection which contain 1 custom list and 1 document library. Now we need to extract the audit logs related to these list and library and send it to a group of people.

So can anyone advice on the available approaches we can follow in SharePoint online?

Previously in SharePoint on-premises, we use to configure the audit logs for a site collection as mentioned in this link Configure audit settings for a site collection. But this approach is no more available for us in SharePoint online.

Any advice?

You can view the audit log reports from a site collection settings.

To view an audit log report:

  1. Click Settings, then click Site settings.

  2. Click Audit log reports in the Site Collection Administration section.

  3. Select the report that you want, such as Deletion on the View Auditing Reports page, .

  4. Type a URL or Browse to the library where you want to save the report and then click OK.

  5. On the Operation Completed Successfully page, click click here to view this report.

Documentation: View audit log reports


Update:

If you are not able to use above steps, you can get the audit logs in the compliance center.

Check below documentation for more information: Search the audit log in the compliance center
