Verbose audit log with human readable messages for governance activities

Hello, durung the EEM implementation we found, that in the audit message doesn't contain the object name, but only identifiers.

When we create the topic transaction.score we can see two records in the audit log. In every record we see, that there is section initiator, where we see the user (and hopefully his IP address - we need to verify that, because we should collect it as well snd we work behind the proxy):

"initiator": {
   "id": "eem-admin",
   "typeURI": "http://schemas.dmtf.org/cloud/audit/1.0/taxonomy/resource/data/security/account/user",
   "geolocation": {},
   "addresses": [
     {
       "url": "10.129.2.2:34784"
     }
   ],
   "attachments": []
 },

then there is the section target and here we see only the ID od the object in EEM:

"target": {
   "id": "data/security/account/user/eem/EventSource/fc031889-7572-432a-8eb4-45f325e8d01f",
   "typeURI": "http://schemas.dmtf.org/cloud/audit/1.0/taxonomy/resource/data/security/account/user",
   "geolocation": {},
   "name": "eem/EventSource/fc031889-7572-432a-8eb4-45f325e8d01f",
   "domain": "data/security/account/user",
   "addresses": [],
   "attachments": []
 }, 

I would expect, that at least name should be some human readable information at least topic name like transaction.score or even better some combination of the parent Kafka cluster together with the topic name e.g. transaction.score (bank-kafka-cl1).

In case, that I decide to delete the topic (or other object), I have again only these internal EEM object identifiers and I have no way, how to identify which object was affected by the change.

The audit record forwarded to SIEM are quite useless from this perspective. I only know, that some user come to EEM and did some action.
