`elasticversion- 7.3`

I have 8 nodes of elasticsearch

```
masternodes- 3
clientnode-2
datanode-3

```

I want to generate audit logs in the elasticsearch so I added this parameter in all the 8 nodes

`xpack.security.audit.enabled : true`

`elasticsearch_audit.json`

generated in /var/log/elasticsearch

**But this is empty so do I have to add some other parameter in order to get audit logs or elasticsearch 7.3 does not support audit log**
