pgaudit log directory

Hello,
I'm using PostgreSQL 10.5 on Linux (RHEL).  I'm new to administering PostgreSQL and recently installed pgaudit.  I believe I have it installed correctly and wanted to start playing with it to see
how exactly it works.

So while walking through a tutorial I found online, I saw where I can enter a statement in PostgreSQL, such as:
ALTER SYSTEM SET pgaudit.log TO 'read, write';
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
Then after reading or writing to a table, you can then check "pg_log" for the audit entries.  But my issue is that I can't find the log file at all?

In my main PostgreSQL directory (/work/PostgreSQL/10)I do have a file called "logfile", but there are no entries from today.  When I go into the pgaudit sub-directory (/work/PostegreSQL/10/pgaudit)
I don't see any log file in there either?

pgaudit writes in the standard pgsql log.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Dave Hughes

Thanks for the response! I realized I didn't have the default logging
turned on. I needed to edit the postgresql.conf file to enable
log_destination = 'csvlog' and logging_collector = on. Once I did that I
can now see the audit file.
