# Intelligence Introduction

The Intelligence section helps you monitor, inspect, and analyze rule executions using audit logs. It gives you access to both individual execution records and aggregated statistics, so you can understand how your rules are used, what results they produce, and where potential issues may occur.

## Enable or disable audit logging

Audit log creation can be enabled or disabled in **Rule Settings**, which are available from the left menu in the Designer tab of each rule.

When Audit Logging is turned on, executions of the rule are stored as audit logs and can be reviewed later in the Intelligence section. When it is turned off, new executions of the rule are not saved as audit logs.

You can also configure related audit log settings here:

* Debug Data&#x20;
* Propagate Audit to children
* Audit Lifespan

### **Propagate Audit to children**

This option allows audit logging to be applied automatically to rules that are executed as part of a rule chain.

This means you do not need to enable audit logging separately for every rule that may be called by another rule, such as a rule executed from a Business Rule node in a Decision Flow or a rule solved from code in a Scripting Rule.

If audit logging is enabled both through propagation and directly on an individual child rule, the execution may be logged twice: once from the parent rule propagation and once from the child rule’s own audit logging settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.decisionrules.io/doc/intelligence/intelligence-introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
