Activity logging for tenant projects is disabled by default. You can enable
activity logging for tenant projects, using the REST API, by executing the following command:
Select Identity Toolkit Project or Identity Toolkit Tenant from the
resources dropdown. If you're using multi-tenancy,
you can show all tenants, or filter to a specific one.

The follow table lists the API operations that can produce activity logs:
Logging gives you tools to disable log ingestion or exclude log

see Logs Exclusions.
The following example shows how to exclude logs for the read-only
