Accessing SharePoint Audit Logs Programmatically (via PnP?)

Hi, Is there a way to access the SharePoint (Online) Site Collection Audit Logs programmatically? Seems like it's available in CSOM using SPAuditQuery(?), but I'm hoping there is a way using PnP...

Hi Thanks for the reply. I've used that for setting the auditing settings, but I mean I'd like to access the actual logs. Ideally, there would be a Power BI content pack for it. Having to look across 200 site collections for the logs manually isn't feasible, so I wondered if I could access the content of the logs programmatically to upload to a database for analysis/reporting etc. Thanks again.
