Databricks Audit Logs, Where the log files are stored? How to read them?

Hi,

I want to access the Databricks Audit Logs to check user activity. For example, the number of times that a table was viewed by a user.

I have a few questions in this regard.

1) Where the log files are stored? Are they stored on DBFS?

2) Can I read log files and save them as a table (let's say a delta table)?

If Log files are saved somewhere like DBFS, I might be able to read files by SQL language. 

I'd like to know if there is any way to get Logs as a Databricks table. I mean, saving the Logs as a table.

Also, I want it to work continuously; adding new logs to the table when a new event happens (not just one time).

I am not sure if I can use SQL language for this purpose or not (instead of Rest API).

Any idea how to do that?
