File Sync Audit Log

I would like the ability to audit file synchronization. Just a running file that shows file edits by the local user, when the file was synced, and if the sync was successful (like a SHA sum comparisons on both sides).

It’s a fair idea. Something similar is kind of possible using the event interface (there’s a tool for listening to the event stream, although it’s not bundled in the binary releases), but an actual audit log on disk isn’t unreasonable.

This would be very useful. If a file is accidentally deleted, then an audit log would help me find which backup to restore.

There is a -audit and a -verbose option.

can you teach me how to use the -audit and -verbose option? i have installed syncthing from linux mint software manager , and if i enter syncthing --audit in the terminal nothing happens. like can someone show me what to do? a youtube tutorial would be helpful as i am a newbie. thanks
