What are the options in SharePoint online if we want to extract the logs related to Lists & Libraries and send them to a group of people

Question

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?

To view an audit log report:

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.
