+# Service level and management level APIs
+
+Azure Batch has two sets of APIs, one for the service level and one for the management level. The naming is often similar but they return different results. If you want activity logs then you need to use the management APIs. Service level APIs bypass the Azure Resource Management layer and are not logged.
+
+
+Batch management and Batch service both have APIs for Pool, for example.
