Description
In the course of fixing up logging related issues we have the option to fairly trivially expose logging data through the api. eg.
civicrm_api3('logging', 'get', array('log_conn_id'));
My primary motivation for this at this stage it to add a test. However, it does present a question of how to present the data. The current function presents an array like
array(0 => array(
'action' => 'Update'
'id' => '3'
'field' => 'sort_name'
'from' => 'Anderson, Anthony'
'to' => 'Anderson, Dopey'
'table' => 'civicrm_contact'
'log_date' => '2016-04-05 04:30:27'
'log_conn_id' => '123456'
);
This doesn't really fit with any existing api pattern - but I can't come up with a good argument for a different format since it is very multi-dimensional, ie. a change could affect multiple tables and mutliple entities within those tables. Using the format the code already likes is also the easiest.....

I'm not sure if that is unfortunate - I rather like the idea of not having to do any extra work 
So has that functionality and test been added and if so can this issue be closed?
still waiting QA
I like the information being returned, it's a welcome addition to the api to be able to access this, but unfortunately I have no opinion on how to improve the data format returned.
