Nice blog post, it describe step by step to enable the audit log in SharePoint 2013 and set audit settings for a site collection. I tested the automate software from http://www.lepide.com/sharepoint-audit/ which allows to track which users have taken what actions on the sites, libraries, lists, list items, content types and library files within the site collections and know who has done what with which information.
