Hi @fredy setiawan ,

You can only configure Audit log using CSOM, but you can't querying audit log using CSOM as audit API is not available via the Client Object Model. And this UserVoice has been rejected.

https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329220-sharepoint-dev-platform/suggestions/8967484-microsoft-sharepoint-client-auditquery-in-csom

If you're using SP onpremise, you can have a try below alternative solutions:

Create classic web service or REST service using SSOM and host it into the server, so you can access Audit long in client-side:

Create custom classic web service

Create custom REST service

https://github.com/kongmengfei/sharedproject/blob/master/AuditingExample/AuditingExample/DemoForm.cs

The first one is about custom WCF :

The last one is about how to use ssom to get audit:

Hi @fredy setiawan ,

This functionality is only available in SSOM while SSOM only works on Server-side. Without custom service, we cannot call it remotely.

SharePoint Online no longer uses Site Collection Auditing and no longer records entries.

You should be using the Unified Audit Log, instead.
