Logging when extensions change state

I feel like the information I am after is probably all "in there" somewhere, because we have a Registrations table and we have Event Guard watching for failed logins.
I am interested in extensions change state, ie register, unregister or expire. But when I look in the logs, I don't see events like this.
What is populating the Registrations table? Can it emit a log when something changes?
The purpose of this is troubleshooting faulty connectivity and CPE. Right now if somebody asks me "was this extension online at this time?" I simply cannot answer the question.

Depending on the verbosity you've set the information is certainly available in the freeswitch logs, forwarding these to elasticserach makes troubleshooting a little easier for folks allergic to the commandline.
That being said, I'm also a fan of freeswitch_exporter which is more about metrics than logging, but can also be helpful in the scenario you described. The screenshot below is from grafana displaying metrics gathered from the freeswitch_exporter, while grafana isn't a neccessity it is more friendly to use than the prometheus UI. I've only chosen to expose the reg_user in the screenshot, but there's enough labels in there for the use case you stated. Each color denotes a different registration of user 9999999, if the datapoints disappear that means 9999999 is not registered.
Also a shameless self plug, I do offer monitored hosted PBX services at unheard of rates, and am considering working with third party resellers (reseller manages their customers, I deal with resellers. I love tech, not so much its users).
