Request for Documentation: In Audit Log docs provide a link to the known list of audit record types

Mattermost user stu.doherty from https://community-daily.mattermost.com has requested the following be documented:

This recently came up when discussing a customer issue, and it has come up before.  I can see a short list of example log types, then a link to the current source file where these are defined (if that's even the case.. if not we can discuss options for maintaining the list).

@cwarnermm We don’t have a timeline for audit logging changes yet. We started conversations this month so it will be some time before any meaningful improvements are seen. @nab-77 is leading the effort from the Product side and may be a better resource to help coordinate timelines and expectations.

I totally understand the point about maintenance. Don’t want to create a headache with a constantly growing target we need to hit. I can’t seem to get to the original message, so I forget the context now, but I don’t think an example of every record is needed. Some key records should have an example to admins get the idea. I think we can talk in terms of the big categories of things that trigger audit records (e.g., system config changes, user+channel+team create/update/delete/logins) and the data that is associated (user id, timestamp, some indicator of what’s changed).

Adding a note on all the API docs for items that trigger would be nice, but I’d say low priority.

I think the key is to convey that the audit records are comprehensive, json formatted for easy ingest, and here are some good examples.
