Service Principal creation audit logs for alerting & monitoring

Why it matters: Generally available

New audit log properties now make it easy for admins to understand why a service principal was created and who or what triggered it. The logs now surface the provisioning mechanism, the specific SKUs or service plans that enabled just‑in‑time creation, and the home tenant of the app registration. This helps admins quickly distinguish Microsoft‑driven provisioning from tenant‑driven activity, streamlining alerting and investigations into newly created service principals.
