Accurately tracking GitLab events on an instance is a security feature and is of critical importance for enterprises, especially ones that operate with strict traceability requirements. While we currently track certain events in Audit Events, our goal should be to record ~100% of events for administrators and auditors to evaluate in a single source of truth. This epic covers instance-level changes in the admin panel. Items in the following list are missing from the audit events table, and should be added: #### Instance settings 1. General 1.
